The Lloyd’s List Awards series recognizes the industry’s successes, setting a benchmark for excellence while rewarding innovative ideas and concepts that have pushed the boundaries of what is possible. Recipients are chosen from entries taken from the South Asia, Middle East and African regions and adjudicated by a distinguished judging panel. The judges applauded SCI for training more people than it requires for itself, and so is providing high caliber people for the wider industry and helping to establish India as a major seafaring nation. Captain Menon was chosen by the judges for leading the way in increasing female representation in key seafarer roles and for exceptional bravery in saving the lives of seven fishermen from a sinking vessel amid lashing winds and heavy swells in heavy rain in the Bay of Bengal.
