For another year, our firm supported the AMVER Awards Dinner on December 14, 2021 organised by the International Propeller Club of US in Athens. People from the shipping industry honoured the shipping companies, their vessels and crews which represent Greece’s maritime heritage in an evening dedicated to the future of shipping as it faces news challenges in a rapidly changing world.
AMVER is the Automated Mutual Assistance Vessel Rescue, an international computer-based and voluntary ship reporting system, used worldwide by search and rescue authorities, using commercial ships to rescue people in distress at sea globally. 2,081 greek owned vessels managed by 251 Greek Ship Management Companies joined the AMVER System within 2021. During the event, 22 Special Rescue Awards were presented to shipping companies that volunteered and saved 505 lives in danger at sea.
Greek ships received more than 2,000 AMVER awards for 2021, making the fleet the leading recipient for the third consecutive year.
