Rear Admiral Halert C. Shepheard Awards
Shortly after his death in 1975, the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Shipping of America (at that time, the American Institute of Merchant Shipping) established the Rear Admiral Halert C. Shepheard Fund to support an award to an individual in recognition of exceptional achievement toward merchant marine safety, the area to which RADM Shepheard contributed greatly throughout his long and distinguished professional life. The Chamber of Shipping of America determines the awardee and makes the presentation. The Chamber of Shipping of America kindly invites your nominations for the annual Shepheard Award. Nominations for a living individual may be submitted for a single outstanding contribution to merchant marine safety; or in recognition of, dedication to, or exceptional leadership in activities associated with merchant marine safety over a period of time. Nominees may include individuals who are eminent in their marine field of endeavor such as, but not limited to, ship operators, naval architects, marine engineers, shipbuilders and those affiliated with ship operations, governments, and marine associations. As the purpose of the “Shep” Award is to encourage and inspire merchant marine safety, it is intended that younger individuals should be given equal consideration. Nominations should be based upon your direct personal and professional knowledge of an individual. Please note that the Award Committee of the Chamber of Shipping of America can only act on nominations received. In a given year the Committee may not bestow an award if it does not consider any of the nominations of sufficient merit. The nominee and nominator should not be directly affiliated with the same organization. The recipient of the award will be presented with a Steuben Crystal Eagle known as the Halert C. Shepheard Eagle. Please take some time to review your maritime colleagues and access their qualifications. The presentation of the 2007 "Shep" Award will take place at the "Jones F. Devlin and Ship Safety Acheivement Awards Luncheon". Event information can be found at the bottom of the page.
