ΑΤΗΕΝS Shipping & Island Policy Minister Giannis Plakiotakis and US Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey Pyatt visited two vessels of the US Coast Guard at Piraeus on Wednesday.
Welcoming Fast Response Cutters Robert Goldman and Charles Moulthrope at Piraeus after a transatlantic journey, Pyatt said that maritime ties have been central to Greece-US relations since the first days of the Hellenic Republic.
Greece is the first country to have earned more than 2,000 AMVER Awards, the US Coast Guard’s global program supporting search and rescue authorities across the world, he noted.
The two officials also tossed a wreath into the sea, honoring the bicentennial of Greece s 1821 Revolution.

Kalimera! Let me start by saying what a great honor it is for me to welcome the U.S. Coast Guard Fast Response Cutters Robert Goldman and Charles Moulthrope to the port of Piraeus.
These two cutters have just completed a historic transatlantic voyage that I think would have made the founder of the U.S. Coast Guard, Alexander Hamilton, very proud, as they proceeded en route to their new homeport in Bahrain where they will operate with the U.S. Navy’s 5
th Fleet.
I want to thank my friend Minister Plakiotakis and Vice Admiral Kliaris for joining me to welcome these U.S. Coast Guard cutters to Greece.
