The Italian Classification Society RINA will create the first Hellenic Decarbonization Committee (HDC), on May 6. The initiative falls within the broader objectives of RINA, which seeks to support the shipping industry in achieving the CO2 reduction targets set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
The first president of the RINA Hellenic Decarbonization Committee is Ms. Ioanna Prokopiou, CEO of Prominence Maritime. The committee will consist of a selected group of shipowners, technicians, shipbuilders, fuel suppliers and charterers.
The Commission aims to launch a meaningful dialogue between all stakeholders aimed at technology improvements, regulation, digital services and the financing of “green” technologies for the benefit of the whole industry.
