Decarbonization and digital strategies debated at ABS Hellenic Committee
Leaders of the Greek Shipping Industry met to discuss decarbonization, capitalizing on data and digital technologies and vessel automation at the annual ABS Hellenic National Committee meeting, ABS said in its release.
ABS continues to be the leading class society in Greece in terms of both the global Greek fleet and the orderbook. The ABS Global Ship Systems Center in Piraeus has successfully completed more than 100 projects in areas as diverse as environmental regulation, vessel performance and cybersecurity. The Piraeus office is also playing a key role in providing expertise on alternative fuels to assist Greek shipowners and operators in making the right investments for their fleets.
The Committee heard about the industry-leading safety performance of ABS, including achieving two years without a work-related lost-time incident. The superior Port State Control performance of ABS and strong fleet safety performance underline its focus on safety and its mission.
The Committee meetings are a forum for ABS members, including owners, operators, charterers, and industry representatives from flag administrations, owner associations, the shipbuilding and insurance sectors, to come together with ABS leaders and discuss industry issues and developments. They are an important part of an ongoing dialogue with industry to address technical, operational and regulatory challenges.
