Wilhelmsen Ships Service received the SAFETY4SEA Initiative Award 2026 in Athens for its AimZero hot work safety campaign, alongside the Excellence in Marine Services Award at the ShipTek Awards 2026 in Dubai.

Advancing hot work safety at sea

The SAFETY4SEA Initiative Award recognises Wilhelmsen Ships Service's AimZero campaign and its focus on encouraging a shift from a reactive approach to proactive incident prevention.

AimZero has a clear ambition: Zero Harm for hot work at sea. Through inspections, training, safer equipment and a stronger safety culture, the initiative aims to help improve how hot work risks are managed across the maritime industry.

The award reinforces the importance of continued collaboration between Wilhelmsen Ships Service, its customers, partners and colleagues in making hot work at sea safer. While the recognition marks an important milestone, the focus remains on continuing the journey towards Zero Harm.

Recognised for excellence in marine services

Wilhelmsen Ships Service was also presented with the Excellence in Marine Services Award at the ShipTek Awards 2026 in Dubai.

The recognition reflects the trust customers and partners place in Wilhelmsen Ships Service's people, expertise, services, and marine products and solutions to support safe, reliable and efficient vessel operations.

For Wilhelmsen Ships Service, the award is a recognition of the commitment and teamwork of its people around the world, as well as the continued trust and collaboration of its customers and partners.

Together, the two awards recognise different aspects of Wilhelmsen Ships Service's work, from advancing safety through focused initiatives such as AimZero to supporting customers' day-to-day vessel operations with marine products, services and expertise.

Wilhelmsen Ships Service extends its thanks to SAFETY4SEA and ShipTek for the recognition, and to its customers, partners and colleagues around the world whose trust, collaboration and commitment continue to make achievements like these possible.
