Nominations for the Merchant Navy Medal are now open

People in the maritime sector!

You can now nominate for who you think deserves the coveted Merchant Navy Medal.

The Merchant Navy Medal for Meritorious Service provides an opportunity for the industry to recognise meritorious service by British merchant seafarers and has become quite the prestigious accolade since it's inception in 2005.

It’s awarded annually, without bias towards age or rank, to those eligible seafarers who are judged to have made a worthwhile contribution to merchant shipping, its operations, development, personnel, welfare, safety, or have performed an act of courage afloat.

The voting window closes in May and the winners will be announced on Merchant Navy Day (September 3rd).
