The 2011 edition of the Singapore International Maritime Awards is now open for nominations.

The 2011 edition of the Singapore International Maritime Awards (IMA) is now open for nominations. Organised by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), the IMA recognizes individuals and companies for their outstanding contributions to Singapore's development as a premier global hub port and an international maritime centre.

Included in the list is the Bunker Award, which last year was presented to Global Energy Trading Pte. Ltd. for "its strong reputation as a safe, quality, reliable and well diversified bunker supplier".

According to data released by the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) for 2009, Global Energy was listed fourth in Singapore's top 20 bunker suppliers by volume last year. BP Singapore Pte Ltd. was named the leading supplier for the seventh year in a row, followed by fellow oil major ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. and SK Energy International Pte. Ltd.

The maritime community in Singapore is invited to nominate deserving candidates and companies for seven award categories: International Maritime Centre (IMC) Award (Corporate and Individual); Excellence in Training Development Award; Outstanding Maritime R&D and Technology Award; SRS Ship Owner of the Year Award; Bunker Award; Maritime Service Provider Award; and Offshore & Marine Engineering Award (refer to Annex A for list of awards).

* International Maritime Centre (IMC) Individual Award: Mr Choo Chiau Beng, Chief Executive Officer of Keppel Corporation and Chairman of Keppel Offshore & Marine, for his numerous contributions in developing Singapore as a leader in the offshore and marine industries.
