That was the MCN Cup 2025 at Lankenauer Höft in Bremen. ????
We had a great mix of celebration, fun and a few emotional ups and downs along the way. Impressive exhibitors, so many people from the maritime world and really strong nominees on stage.
From more than 40 applications, the top three were selected and each category had one winner.
Our very own Saikiran also applied and made it into the top three of the Junior Cup. That alone is already a big success.
His words say it best: “It is not a problem that I did not get first place. What matters much more are all the contacts and people I was able to meet.”
As DRYNET (in our role as sponsor), we want to congratulate all nominees and winners, including:
Marivation GmbH with SMARTKAI,
FVTR GmbH with SimPleShip,
BALTEC Offshore GmbH,
and Florian Ludwig – Ship Monitor by JDS
