The RINA Maritime Safety Award, sponsored by Lloyd’s Register, recognises an individual, company or organisation which has made a significant technological contribution to improving maritime safety or the protection of the maritime environment.
The award recognises that the safety of both the seafarer and the maritime environment begins with good design, followed by sound construction and efficient operation.
About the award
While naval architects and other engineers involved in the design, construction and operation of maritime vessels and structures do not have a patent on such issues, nonetheless their work can make a significant contribution.
RINA also believes that it has a role to play in recognising the achievements of engineers in improving safety at sea and the protection of the maritime environment. Such recognition serves to raise awareness and promote further improvements.
Awards will be made on the basis of the degree of technological contribution made by the candidate for improving maritime safety, or for the protection of the marine environment, including evidence of the uptake by industry, legislation, or leadership, or to improved safety in areas of design, construction or operational procedures, or publication track record in the field of maritime safety, or for the teaching of safety issues.
