SITMAR obtained contracts with the International Refugee Organisation (IRO) to take refugees from Europe to Australia and other nations. SITMAR's first vessel to operate from Australia was the Castelbianco. Amongst the many companies contracted to transport displaced people, SITMAR's vessels were noted for providing higher quality accommodation and food.

For several years, the company operated journeys between Europe, Central America and South America. SITMAR also engaged in the tourist trade between Europe, the United States and Canada.

Lloyd’s Register is an organisation with a remarkable history, they have been setting international standards in the marine industry for more than 250 years.

Apostolos Poulovassilis states «As the market demands evermore fuel efficient ship designs, shipowners and builders need to understand and adopt the latest cutting edge technologies and exploit every opportunity in an evolving global market. We have developed a unique methodology to guide shipowners, designers and builders through the latest design processes».

Mr Apostolos Poulovassilis says that «Our Performance Optimisation services have proved very popular in helping ship-owners, builders and designers to optimise the performance of their ships which embraces a new approach to supporting innovation and performance improvements in shipping. The focus of these services is supporting more efficient ship designs and retrofit solutions for ships in service. We are looking at the whole ship and its operational requirements».

Mr Apostolos Poulovassilis points out that « Our strategy is simple: to add value to society and achieve sustainable growth through independent assurance and expert advice for clients operating the critical infrastructure upon which society relies».

About LNG vessels development Mr Poulovassilis mentioned that «we have worked with Viking Line to build Viking Grace, the world’s most environmentally friendly large passenger ship, we have classed the world’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG)fuelled tanker, Argonon, and we are also classing 3 LNG-fuelled ferries currently being built in Quebec and Italy for STQ. It is the success of these and many other pioneering projects that drives us to continue responding to the industry but also to look ahead, and produce groundbreaking solutions for our clients».

According to Mr Poulovassili «in the current market outlook, shipping has to become more efficient and we need to better understand fuels, engines and designs that can work safely, reliably, efficiently and cleanly.

«Επιδιώκουμε να είναι πάντοτε η HELMEPA μπροστά από τις εξελίξεις»

 

drkoustasfotoΟ Δρ. Ιωάννης Κούστας είναι Πρόεδρος, Διευθύνων Σύμβουλος και μέλος του Διοικητικού Συμβουλίου της DANAOS Corporation. Mε περισσότερα από 25 χρόνια εμπειρίας στον τομέα της ναυτιλίας ανέλαβε τη Διοίκηση της Danaos το 1987 από τον πατέρα του και ιδρυτή της Danaos Shipping το 1972 Δημήτρη Κούστα.

Ο Δρ. Ι. Κούστας είναι Aντιπρόεδρος και μέλος του Διοικητικού Συμβουλίου του “Swedish Club” καθώς και Πρόεδρος της HELMEPA (Ελληνική Ένωση Προστασίας θαλάσσιου Περιβάλλοντος). Επιπλέον, είναι μέλος του διοικητικού συμβούλιου της Ένωσης Ελλήνων Εφοπλιστών καθώς και της Κυπριακής Ένωσης Πλοιοκτητών. Είναι απόφοιτος του Marine Engineering του Εθνικού Μετσόβιου Πολυτεχνείου. Έχει πτυχίο Master in Computer Science και Διδακτορικό Δίπλωμα Πληροφορικής από το Imperial College του Λονδίνου.

 

O Δρ Ιωάννης Κούστας δηλώνει πως «οι δραστηριότητες της HELMEPA καλλιεργούν περιβαλλοντική συνείδηση που εμπλουτίζεται από τη γνώση που τα επιμορφωτικά της προγράμματα προσφέρουν στους εθελοντές μέλη της».

Επισημαίνει πως «γενιές ολόκληρες στην πατρίδα μας, σημερινοί 30άρηδες αλλά και πεντάχρονα, έχουν συνδέσει το Γλάρο της HELMEPA με το διαχρονικό μήνυμα «Όχι σκουπίδια, όχι πλαστικά σε θάλασσες και ακτές». Το γεγονός αυτό μας γεμίζει ικανοποίηση για το ότι συνδράμουμε στην αλλαγή συμπεριφορών προς το περιβάλλον».

Σημειώνει πως «οι Γενικοί Γραμματείς του ΙΜΟ από το 1983 μέχρι και σήμερα καθώς και ηγετικά στελέχη Αρχών όπως η Αμερικανική Ακτοφυλακή θεωρούν την πρωτοβουλία της Ελληνικής Ναυτιλιακής Κοινότητας να ιδρύσει τη HELMEPA εθελοντικά και να φέρει κοντά ναυτικούς και πλοιοκτήτες όχι μόνον πρωτότυπη αλλά και παράδειγμα προς μίμηση από άλλες εθνικές ναυτιλίες».

Και όσον αφορά στη φιλοσοφία των μελών της HELMEPA αναφέρει πως είναι να «επιτυγχάνεται αποτελεσματική συμμόρφωση όχι από το φόβο συνεπειών αλλά από συνειδητοποίηση της ζημιάς που μπορεί να προκληθεί στην ανθρώπινη ζωή, το περιβάλλον και την περιουσία που κάθε πλοίο και φορτίο αντιπροσωπεύουν».

 

 georgia foto Συνέντευξη στην Γεωργία Ερμίδη

 

-Δρ. Ιωάννη Κούστα ως πρόεδρος του Δ.Σ. της HELMEPA ποιες είναι οι επιδιώξεις και οι στόχοι σας ;

 

H HELMEPA, όπως γνωρίζετε έχει ήδη διαγράψει 31 χρόνια επιτυχούς δραστηριότητας όχι μόνο στο χώρο της Ελληνικής ναυτιλίας αλλά και στο διεθνή. Αυτό έχει τεκμηριωθεί από την εκτίμηση οργανισμών όπως ο Διεθνής Ναυτιλιακός Οργανισμός-ΙΜΟ, η Ευρωπαϊκή Επιτροπή και εθνικές αρχές όπως οι Ακτοφυλακές των ΗΠΑ, της Αυστραλίας, του Καναδά και άλλων χωρών. Έτσι, οι συνάδελφοι μου στο Διοικητικό Συμβούλιο κι εγώ προσωπικά, επιδιώκουμε να είναι πάντοτε η HELMEPA μπροστά από τις εξελίξεις. Να προσφέρει στα μέλη της επίκαιρα για τη βιομηχανία μας επιμορφωτικά προγράμματα με όσο το δυνατό αποτελεσματικότερη χρησιμοποίηση της νέας ηλεκτρονικής τεχνολογίας. Και βεβαίως, να συνεχίσει το έργο της στο χώρο της περιβαλλοντικής ενημέρωσης και εκπαίδευσης των μικρών μαθητών και των νέων, με τα προγράμματα Παιδική HELMEPA και Ναυτίλοι.
