The Chamber of Shipping of America is accepting entries for the Safety Achievement Awards. The awards will be presented at the Annual Safety Achievement Awards Luncheon at the Loews New Orleans Hotel, 300 Poydras Street, New Orleans, LA on Thursday, May 23, 2013.
The 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, 2012 are now being accepted.
The deadline for entries is Friday, March 29, 2013.
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.
The program is available to all companies, both members and non-members of CSA. All vessel owners and operators are encouraged to participate.
The level of award (Letters of Commendation, Citations of Merit, and Top Honor) will be judged by an impartial Safety Awards Committee comprised of qualified individuals from various segments of the industry.. The nomination form must be completed in its entirety and submitted to the Committee. Please include sufficient details to enable the committee to evaluate the submission.
All entries must be received by Friday, March 29, 2013.
