RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE IN LOGISTICS AND MARITIME INDUSTRY

Building on the success of the previous 9 editions, India Maritime Awards returns for a significant milestone: the 10th Grand Gala Edition scheduled to be held on Friday, 29th July 2026 at the Hotel Grand Hyatt, Mumbai. This landmark edition celebrates a successful decade of recognising excellence across shipping, ports, logistics, and supply chain sectors.

Organised by Daily Shipping Times (DST)—India’s first and oldest shipping newspaper for over 66+ years. It is a media institution that has consistently stood at the forefront of India’s maritime and logistics ecosystem—building trust, convening industry leaders, and shaping sectoral dialogue.

India Maritime Awards has evolved into one of the most respected recognition platforms in the maritime and logistics industry. It brings together leading industry stalwarts under one roof —the 10th edition is envisioned as a larger, more impactful gathering of senior industry leaders, policymakers, and decision-makers.

The awards aim to honour top-performing organizations and individuals on a pan-India basis, while also serving as a premier networking and branding platform for the maritime and logistics ecosystem. Over the years, the event has consistently attracted CEOs, port authorities, shipping lines, logistics providers, and government representatives, making it a key fixture in the industry calendar.

As a milestone edition, the 10th India Maritime Awards is positioned not just as a recognition ceremony, but as a grand industry convergence platform, celebrating legacy, leadership, and the future of India’s maritime trade.
