IMO is currently accepting nominations for exceptional acts of bravery performed at sea during the period 1 March 2024 to 28 February 2025.

The honours, which are awarded annually, provide international recognition to those who, at the risk of losing their own life, have performed acts of exceptional bravery in an attempt to save life at sea or prevent/mitigate damage to the marine environment. Such acts of bravery may also involve extraordinary seamanship skills in very difficult conditions or any other display of outstanding courage.

The nomination form can be submitted by any IMO Member State, intergovernmental organization in cooperation with IMO or non-governmental organization in consultative status with IMO.

Deadline for submissions: 15 April 2025. For more information, and the nomination form, please visit:
