The Maritime Fellowship Award

for outstanding contribution to the maritime dimension

The Award, for which the nomination is made by the Maritime Media Awards Committee, honours an individual who has made a truly outstanding contribution at the national level to stimulating public engagement in maritime issues.

In particular, it seeks to honour either a lifetime of dedicated service, a leading role in realising a decisive outcome (such as a major maritime event or breakthrough) or a significant influence about thinking or understanding of the maritime dimension over time.

Vice Admiral Jerry Kyd CBE presents Julian Parker OBE with the Maritime Fellowship Award 2021 at the Maritime Media Awards 2020 and 2021 as the Maritime Foundation returned to Londons Drapers Hall on Friday, 27 May 2022 at a reception and lunch attended by a diverse representation of the maritime community and the past two years of the book, film, digital media, and journalism award winners.
