Metstrade organizers announced that nominations for the DAME Design Awards are being accepted. There are eight new categories for this year’s competition.

The new categories are:
• Personal Equipment
• Comfort & Entertainment Afloat
• Navigation & Communication
• Electronic & Electrical Systems
• Propulsion & Dynamics
• Deck Equipment
• Security & Safety Aboard
• Shoreside Equipment & Materials
An Environmental Design Award also will be handed out.
