With the closing date for the 2013 Club Marine Australian Marine Industry Export and Superyacht Awards applications a mere month away, the Australian International Marine Export Group (AIMEX) is beginning to receive applications and based on the level of interest received AIMEX anticipates a strong calibre of applications for 2013.
