WISTA The Netherlands nominated for Maritime Achievement Award.

Since the announcement of our nomination for the Maritime Achievement Award, we’ve had our heads in the clouds.

This nomination reflects 25 years of WISTA The Netherlands and recognises the work of our full membership over those years.

The Maritime Awards Gala on the 2nd of November will be the moment when the winner is announced, and how cool would it be to have as many WISTA members, former members and future members in that room?!

For current WISTA The Netherlands members, seats are limited.
But we also need all our male allies and supporting organisations in the industry to be there with us and collectively show the progressive leadership and inclusion needed to shape a future-proof maritime industry.

We are WISTA, we drive the change. A big shoutout to all of you! Now let’s shout it from the rooftops!!!

We have arranged at least two tables for our members at the Maritime Awards Gala.

This is a unique chance to be part of the big celebration and make WISTA The Netherlands history together.

Join us in making a lasting impression, and let’s make sure WISTA NL’s representation is the biggest ever!
