Regional cluster organisation, Mersey Maritime, is pleased to announce the launch of its industry voting platform for the prestigious Mersey Maritime Industry Awards 2025 (MMIA25). This marks the final stage in the awards process, offering the maritime community an opportunity to actively participate in recognising excellence across the sector.
The MMIAs are widely recognised as the UK’s leading regional maritime awards ceremony, celebrating the achievements of the industry’s most outstanding companies and individuals across the Liverpool City Region and wider North West. Finalists have been selected following a rigorous evaluation process conducted by a panel of national, regional, and local industry experts, business leaders, and government representatives.
The voting platform opened on Wednesday 1st October and will remain live until Wednesday 15th October at 23:59, enabling professionals from across the maritime ecosystem, locally, nationally, and internationally, to cast their votes for the winners in each category.
Ruth Wood, CEO of Mersey Maritime, commented:
“The Mersey Maritime Industry Awards are a true celebration of the strength and diversity of our sector, and the launch of the voting platform is a pivotal moment in the awards journey.
“It reflects our commitment to transparency, collaboration, and sector-wide engagement. We encourage all members of our industry to take part and help us celebrate the remarkable achievements of our finalists!”
Winners will be announced at the MMIA25 awards ceremony, taking place on Thursday 6 November at the iconic Liverpool Cathedral, where over 400 industry professionals will gather for an evening of celebration and recognition.
Mersey Maritime extends its best wishes to all finalists and encourages them to make the most of the coming weeks by showcasing and promoting their achievements across the industry.
