PRAISES-AWARDS.
Classification society DNV presented Arcadia Shipmanagement Co Ltd. with a certificate recognizing their vessel Aegean Myth as the first vessel globally to have a SEEMP III manual. The Ship Operational Carbon Intensity Plan or SEEMP Part III, is part of IMO’s strategy to reduce shipping’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a verified SEEMP Part III must be kept on board from 1 January 2023. The SEEMP Part III, or Ship Operational Carbon Intensity Plan, was finalized with the latest amendments to MARPOL Annex VI and the associated Guidelines at MEPC 78 last month. It requires ship owners and operators to monitor, report and verify CO2 emissions annually for all vessels larger than 5,000 GT. It is a ship-specific document, a dynamic and regularly updated three-year implementation plan describing how a vessel will achieve the required Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) over the next three years, with yearly targets, procedures for self-evaluation and improvement, and a corrective action plan in case of an inferior rating.
TESTIMONIALS.
«Captain Dimitris Mattheou was honored recently by the jury members of Efkranti Awards as the ‘Manager of the Year’. The decision of the jury was based on the contribution of Mr. Mattheou as a valuable member of a major and of Greek interests shipping company and as a facilitator and supporter of maritime sciences and the protection of the marine environment.As the Chairman of the Green Award Foundation, as an Executive Member of HELMEPA, as a Governor of the International Propeller Club, Port of Piraeus and as the newly elected Vice President of the Hellenic Mediterranean Panel of INTERTANKO, Mr. Mattheou actively supports the principles of collective actions and extroversion of shipping and focuses with inexhaustible passion on highlighting the human factor and the need for innovation; pillars on which the Greek maritime model has always relied.Mr. Mattheou is an active as well as energetic member of the Greek shipping community, with a glorious presence at national and international bodies and shipping agencies. The most important, however, contribution of Capt. Dimitris is to the Greek Naval and Maritime Academic Education, the Greek Navy and the operations of the wider Greek shipping cluster.
I dare to point out, that dozens of young students and scholars, scientists and young entrepreneurs owe the beginning of their careers to Mr Mattheou’s valuable and multifaceted support. Greece and Greek Shipping are in need of young people with ‘appetite’ and passion both for professional overcoming and for personal excellence. Captain Mattheou never forgets nor neglects these young people. »
