Ship Safety Achievement Awards

The Chamber of Shipping of America is accepting entries for the 2003 Ship Safety Achievement Awards. The awards will be presented at the annual Ship Safety Awards Luncheon in New Orleans, LA on June 10, 2004 at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside.

Ship Safety Achievement Awards are presented to vessels that have performed outstanding feats of safety during the course of a calendar year. Entries for the calendar year ending December 31, 2003 will be accepted through April 30, 2004.

Vessels are recognized for outstanding feats of safety which may include, but are not limited to: rescue; assistance to distressed vessels; transfer of ill or injured persons under difficult sea conditions; and demonstrations of safety and ship operations which have contributed to saving a life or a ship. They are actions in which the ship and crew as a whole were involved rather than individual achievement.

All vessels, including container ships, tankers, Great Lakes carriers, offshore supply vessels, tugboats, etc., representing all segments of the industry (international and domestic deep-sea, coastwise and inland) are eligible to participate in this award program.

Entries will be judged by an impartial Safety Awards Committee comprised of qualified individuals from various segments of the industry. The attached form must be completed in its entirety and submitted to the Committee prior to April 30, 2004. Please include sufficient detail to enable the committee to evaluate the submission.
