Submit your unsung heroe 2021
The Unsung Heroes of 2021’ awards evening, taking place during London International Shipping Week 2021, will celebrate the companies, master mariners and seafarers who have made outstanding contributions during the pandemic.
Ince strives to celebrate the unsung heroes of 2021, recognising the companies, master mariners, and seafarers that have made an outstanding contribution in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 crisis triggered wide-ranging implications for the global maritime sector, and the new restrictions put in place in response to the pandemic continue to have a negative impact on those working in the industry.
In particular, these restrictions prompted a crew change crisis, reaching its peak in 2020 with over 400,000 seafarers stranded at sea. As a result, strengthening the capacity to anticipate and recover from the disruptions of the pandemic has been a priority for the maritime industry over the past 18 months. At Ince, we are committed to championing our ‘key workers’ at sea, and commemorating individuals and organisations who have overcome many obstacles and initiated significant change within the industry.
