One of the highly anticipated moments during last year's Maritime Cluster conference was the announcement of the Blue Maritime Cluster Awards winners.
The "Blue Maritime Cluster Award" for 2023 was presented to Per Erik Dalen for his contribution to the maritime cluster and his role in establishing national cluster programs. REM Power, designed and constructed by VARD for Rem Purus, received the "Blue Maritime Innovation of the Year" award.
We are excited to announce the kickoff of this year's Blue Maritime Cluster Awards. These awards acknowledge the significant contributions that have strengthened our position as a global maritime innovation leader and made a positive impact over the past year.
Collaboration across the cluster is vital for innovation and development.
Amrit Bhullar, Senior VP of Business Development & Group Innovation, VARD
The "Maritime Innovation of the Year" award honors an innovative approach in technology, design discipline, or methodology that has strengthened the cluster's position as a global leader in maritime innovation. The criteria for this award include having launched the product or service within the last twelve months and being a cluster member. This award provides a platform for recognizing the groundbreaking work done by our cluster members and showcasing our commitment to leading-edge solutions.
The "Blue Maritime Cluster Award" aims to recognize a person or a business that has gone above and beyond in strengthening the cluster. This award will go to those who have made extraordinary efforts to foster collaboration and promote the interconnection between cluster members and the maritime industry.
The Blue Maritime Awards provide a unique opportunity to honor and encourage the dedication and groundbreaking innovations that our cluster members contribute to the maritime world.
