Maritime Award of the Americas
Maritime Award of the Americas
I. About
The port sector is vital for global socio-economic development. In Latin America and the Caribbean, about 95% of exports are mobilized through ports. Recognizing the important role of the industry in boosting competitiveness and contributing to the integral development of the Hemisphere, the Secretariat of the Inter-American Committee on Ports (CIP) of the Organization of American States (OAS) promotes the development of competitive, secure, sustainable, and inclusive ports with efficient operations that have a low impact on the environment and bring prosperity to the societies in which they operate.
II. Objective
The 2023 Maritime Award of the Americas is organized by the CIP Secretariat, in collaboration with the Latin American Society of Marine Oil Terminal Operators and Single-Buoy Mooring (SLOM), the North American Marine Environment Protection Association (NAMEPA), and other strategic OAS entities. It recognizes successful practices in the maritime and port sectors of the Hemisphere that demonstrate excellence, innovation, leadership, sustainability, and replicability.
Outstanding Women in the Maritime and Port Sectors
Recognizing the fundamental role women play in the political, economic, social, and cultural development of the Hemisphere, the CIP encourages them to take leadership in both public institutions and the private sector. In line with the its Action Plan, the Inter-American Committee on Ports (CIP) promotes an inclusive, competitive, and socially responsible port system. As women are essential to boosting competitiveness, the CIP aims at empowering female professionals in the port sector of the Americas.
The Maritime Award of the Americas: Outstanding Women in the Maritime and Port Sector, organized by the CIP, brings together the OAS Inter-American Commission of Women (CIM) and other relevant institutions to promote gender equality in the sector.
