Australian Shipping & Maritime Industry Awards
The Australian Shipping & Maritime Industry Awards have been held every November since 1995. As of 2011 there are 16 award categories which recognise achievements in liner trading, freight forwarding, maritime safety, project cargo, seafarers welfare, maritime services, supply chain and young achievement.
Nominations are open to the general public thus any person may nominate another company, corporation, organisation or individual for any award. Winners of 14 of the awards are selected by a combination of votes from a judging panel consisting of industry peers and popular vote by the readers of Lloyd's List Australia. The final two award winners, Newsmaker of the Year and the annual induction to the Australian Maritime Hall of Fame, are determined by the editorial staff of Lloyd's List Australia.
Hosts of the awards ceremony have included former Australian cricket player Mike Whitney and television personality Sam Kekovich.

“Talk of a divinity in man! Look at the teamster on the highway, wending to market by day or night; does any divinity stir within him? His highest duty to fodder and water his horses! What is his destiny to him compared with the shipping interests?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You must, to get through life well, practice industry with economy, never create a debt for anything that is not absolutely necessary, and if you make a promise to pay money at a day certain, be sure to comply with it. If you do not, you lay yourself liable to have your feelings injured and your reputation destroyed with the just imputation of violating your word.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
