After two successful editions that recognised exceptional marina leadership, innovation, sustainability, health &amp; safety, and operational mastery across the Middle East, North Africa, and T\u00fcrkiye (MENAT), the third edition in 2025 marked a defining evolution.<\/p>\n<p>The programme expanded to honour breakthrough projects and sustainability-driven initiatives, while also shining a spotlight on the sector\u2019s most influential leaders and emerging experts. With this momentum, we now set our sights on an even more dynamic 2026 edition.<\/p>\n<p>Building on the progress of previous three editions \u2013 and the expanded framework introduced in 2025 \u2013 the 2026 Abu Dhabi Maritime Awards will continue to celebrate the region\u2019s outstanding marinas, visionary projects, and inspiring individuals shaping the sector\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>Get ready for a remarkable celebration in November 2026 \u2013 where the region\u2019s most innovative, future-focused, and resilient marinas will take the centre stage and showcase the very best of the regional industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"two-col-lottie wp-block-meta-box-two-col-lottie\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n\n        <div class=\"two-col-lottie__content\">\n\n                            <h2 class=\"two-col-lottie__title\">\n                                            Most Popular Marina                    \n                                            <span class=\"two-col-lottie__highlight\">Recognition<\/span>\n                                    <\/h2>\n            \n                            <div class=\"two-col-lottie__body\"><p>Distinct from the awards categories, the <strong>\u201cMost Popular Marina Recognition\u201d<\/strong> is determined entirely by public vote through a tamper-resistant online platform opening later this year.<\/p>\n<p>To participate, voters must complete security measures to prevent interference by bots and artificial intelligence programmes.
