Encouraged by the enthusiasm of our crew members in our first-ever photo competition in 2009, we organised another competition in November last year. Crew members from Rickmers Maritime's vessels were invited to submit images they felt best captured the excitement of life on the high seas. Over 100 entries of innovative and inspiring images poured in, and it was only after a lengthy deliberation that the three best photos were selected.

The top three photos were taken by: Captain Wang Bo for his submission "Camaderie", Captain Zhang Yi for "Free Fall' and Captain Zaw Min Thaw for "Ice".

Mr Thomas Preben Hansen, CEO of Rickmers Trust Management and one of the judges for the competition said, "When you are out at sea, the vastness of the sky and water can be truly inspirational. Unsurprisingly, we received many entries that demonstrated this theme. We also received many entries that illustrated team interaction, and showed how daily teamwork and friendship can make life at sea even more interesting. The quality of the images we received were exceptional, making the judging process difficult yet enjoyable." The judging panel consisted of the management of the Trustee-Manager and Mr Tang Xiaowen, a professional photographer.

Here is what the judges said about their three best picks: 

  1st Prize: "The composition of the picture is very strong. The colour of the sea works very well with the colour of the vessel. It shows the perfect geometry of the ship against the water. The photographer has positioned himself well in order to capture this very striking picture." 
 

2nd Prize: "The photographer has captured the drama of the moment with the geometry of containers contrasting against the softness
of the sea and sky. The pale container tops in a patchwork design gives a nice reflection."

3rd Prize: "The composition of the picture shows a balance of machine and nature. The colours of the sea and bow contrast very well and marks have also been awarded to the photographer for capturing the theme ‘life at sea’ from a very different perspective." 


We would like to take this opportunity to thank the crew members for their strong support and active participation which have contributed to the success of the competition.
