The U.S. Coast Guard is pleased to announce the award recipients for the 2022 Biennial Rear Admiral William M. Benkert Marine Environmental Protection Award for Excellence. 

The program recognizes corporations and businesses involved in marine facility or vessel operations that have demonstrated sustained excellence and outstanding achievement in protecting the marine environment.  It also encourages innovations in operations, maintenance, cargo handling, refueling, training, and provides a means for award recipients to share their successful methods and techniques with others in industry.

This year’s pool of applicants was highly competitive, demonstrating industry’s overall commitment to the environment. We congratulate this year’s winners:

The award will be presented during North American Marine Environment Protection Association (NAMEPA) Safety at Sea and AMVER award seminar held on May 19, 2022.
