“We find ourselves in the middle of a global pandemic with the maritime industry very much in uncharted waters. The Maritime UK Awards are a fantastic opportunity for the industry to celebrate success and look forward in these uncertain times.”

Ben Murray, Director at Maritime UK, said: 

“We’re thrilled to have MLA College on board as the Diamond Sponsor for our second Maritime UK Awards. The college is playing an important role within the industry, developing the skills that maritime employers need from their employees, now and in the future.

“Our goal for the awards is to share best practice and drive higher standards throughout the industry, which is extra important at this turbulent time, and the support of MLA College is helping to make that a reality.”
