"The IMRF Awards really do matter because they attract vital public attention and focus to the excellent lifesaving work that's being done all around the world by maritime search and rescue organisations." 

"That attention, then helps those organisations to secure the funding and resources they need to go on saving more lives at sea," says Michael Vlasto, lead judge on the panel of judges for the IMRF Awards 2019.

The IMRF Awards 2019 are open to anyone who has made an outstanding contribution to maritime search and rescue between 1 July 2018 – 31 May 2019.

	Team: For Outstanding Team Contribution to Maritime SAR Operations
	Innovation & Technology: For Innovation and Technology in the field of Maritime SAR

The winners of the IMRF Awards 2019 will be announced on 10 September, during London International Shipping Week at an event aboard HQS Wellington, an historic boat moored on the Thames in central London. 

The Awards will be presented by Vice-Admiral Sir Tim Laurence KCVO CB ADC.​
