The award recognises recipients who have made a significant and lasting contribution to shipping and the maritime industry.
Presenting the Award, Mr. Hayman stated that “the award goes to a man who has achieved a very great deal across a number of fields, not just shipping” and highlighted that “Mr. Mehrotra’s accomplishments had spanned across industries including drilling, high-end restaurant business, farming, shoe manufacture & retailing, as well as running a maritime & offshore training institute in the grounds of his former family home city in a landlocked state of one of the world’s most populous countries”.
“ It’s a great honor to receive this prestigious award and I believe that it’s the reputation that matters the most as money and size anyone can create” said Dr. Ravi K Mehrotra CBE.
