National Maritime SME Awards 2023

The National Maritime SME Awards 2023 celebrate the outstanding and innovative achievements of small and medium enterprises across the UK maritime sector.

Held at the extraordinary RIBA London award-winning Woods Quay, a new building moored on the Thames; basking in the revered riverscape from Waterloo Bridge towards Westminster and beyond, during one of the most important international shipping and maritime events in the world, London International Shipping Week and DSEI 23, the awards are dedicated to connecting small and medium business owners and leaders from across all maritime industries.

On the night, our ‘fire food’ dinner menu will be inspired by UK produce from the North Sea, Thames Estuary up to the source, and served as you circulate on the spacious Woods Quay decks, enjoying the evening’s networking event Maritime Connection and celebrate the UK’s top 20 National Maritime SME Award winners accompanied by great onboard entertainment.

The awards will also feature an exclusive Innovation Afloat Showcase on the evening, showcasing the latest vessel built by a UK shipbuilder on behalf of a UK company, who are working towards delivering a cleaner marine environment.

Recognising and celebrating the outstanding achievements of British maritime small and medium-sized businesses the awards offer you and your colleagues the opportunity to gain the industry and country-wide recognition you deserve.

These awards are open to any seagoing or shore side maritime or marine business operating in the UK which fall within the traditional definition of an SME.
