Maritime UK announces award winners

Maritime UK Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, joined industry leaders and government partners to celebrate the best of the UK's maritime sector at the Maritime UK Awards in Hull on 9 March 2023.

The Maritime UK Awards celebrate organisations and individuals from across the sector, which is worth over £116 billion to the UK economy and supports over one million jobs. Fourteen awards were given out during the ceremony, with keynote speeches given by Maritime UK chair, Robin Mortimer, and The Princess Royal.

Commenting on the Maritime UK award winners, PLA director of corporate affairs, Alistair Gale, said:

“All the nominees and winners of the Maritime UK awards demonstrate the dynamic, flourishing industry which is leading the world, in terms of design, innovation and sustainability.

“The awards are not only a chance to reflect and celebrate the progress that has been made in the industry, but also an opportunity to see the exciting developments that are on the horizon.”

The Maritime UK Awards categories mirror the key pillars of Maritime 2050, which sets out the joint strategy for industry and government for the sector's future. The PLA sponsored the Innovation Award, which was won by Artemis Technologies.

Artemis Technologies is a leading high-performance maritime design and applied technologies company, born from the successful Artemis Racing team. Drawing on world class skills in simulation, lightweight structure engineering, electronics, hydraulics, aerodynamics, and hydrodynamics.

CEO of Artemis Technologies Dr Iain Percy OBE said:

“At Artemis Technologies, we have a mission to lead the decarbonisation of the maritime sector and we are thrilled to have our innovations recognised at the 2023 Maritime UK Awards.
