Malta Maritime Awards Dinner – To be announced

 

The Malta Maritime Summit will be organized in October 2026. This week-long conference will bring together many international maritime executives and officials to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing this industry and the way forward toward a more sustainable and resilient maritime sector. Special focus will be given to sustainability, digitalization, and added value job creation.

For the third time, the Summit will feature an additional event – the Malta Maritime Awards.

The awards will be an event that celebrates the long successful history of the maritime industry but will also act as a platform to give more motivation to the young generation to come forward and embark on a maritime career. It will also provide more visibility into what the industry represents and its importance to the Maltese economy.

The Maritime Awards will be a platform to recognize the hard work and dedication of those individuals and companies that have contributed to the establishment of Malta as a center of maritime excellence.

The celebration will be held on the first day of the summit.
