The awards recognizes companies who have provided a significant technological achievement or breakthrough or significant contribution in any aspect of maritime safety activity.

Marlink Telemedicine innovation is not only a way to make the medical security of seafarers safer but it also represents the most efficient way to protect life at sea.” states Panagotis Falidouris.
