But drop in number of export submissions a concern
An inherent element of the annual ASMEX conference is the Australian Marine Industry Awards. Always held at a gala event, the awards reflect the success of the country’s strong marine industry, covering superyachts, marine recreation and commercial marine activities.
Aimex president Richard Chapman said: “This year’s award winners represent the success Australian businesses and brands are enjoying on the global stage. Their investment, hard work and high standards pay off. We are proud to elevate this amazing group of marine industry professionals and pay tribute to their talent and tenacity.”
However, Ken Evans, chairman of the judging panel, commented that there was disappointment over the drop in the number of submissions for the export awards.
