The Ship Efficiency Awards were launched by Fathom to recognise and celebrate the organisations, individuals and initiatives within the maritime sector that are driving fresh thinking around efficiency, catalysing technological innovation and successfully making waves within the industry through efficient operations.

The awards were independently judged by a panel of high profile industry experts including Peter Hinchliffe, International Chamber of Shipping; Craig Eason, Lloyd’s List; Lars Robert Pedersen, BIMCO; Jan de Kat, ABS; Minas Miliaras, RCL Cruises Ltd and Martin Stopford, Clarksons Research.
