IMRF is delighted to announce that entries for the 2025 IMRF Awards are now open. These esteemed awards highlight the remarkable achievements and innovations of the global maritime SAR community.

This year, we're pleased to welcome Kpler as a new award sponsor, supporting the Innovation and Technology in Maritime Search and Rescue Award. This award recognises the innovative advancements transforming the SAR landscape. The IMRF would like to thank its current sponsors who will be continuing their sponsorship in 2025: HamiltonJet (#WomenInSAR Award) and Inmarsat (IMRF Vladimir Maksimov Award for Lifetime Achievement).

There are two categories left to sponsor for the 2025 Awards: Outstanding Individual Contribution to Maritime SAR Operations and Outstanding Team Contribution to Maritime SAR Operations. Sponsorship provides your brand with a unique opportunity to align with the lifesaving work of the global SAR community. As a sponsor, your organisation will benefit from:

• Inclusion in IMRF Awards press releases as an award sponsor
• The opportunity to share a short, recorded message during the Virtual IMRF Awards event
• Your company name and logo featured across our social media platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook)
• Visibility in the online Awards event and IMRF Annual Meeting materials
• A certificate of recognition and thanks
• A prominent listing on the IMRF Awards webpage.

Supporting an IMRF Award goes beyond mere recognition; it is about supporting those who dedicate their lives to saving others and fostering a global culture of recognition and innovation.
