The Nautical Institute (NI) signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Hellenic Marine Environment Protection Association (HELMEPA), to develop and nurture an environmental consciousness throughout shipping by informing and educating.
The MoU, which replaces the previous agreement between the two organisations, outlines the areas of common interest and promises to explore synergies that foster:
- Marine environment protection
- Maritime safety and wellness
- Seafarers’ training
- Awareness raising in the context of sustainable development
- The possibility of collaboration

It will be in effect for 5 years and reflects the many ways the two non-governmental organisations display similar commitment and dedication to the protection and sustainability of the marine environment.
The Nautical Institute’s CEO, Captain John Lloyd, said on the occasion:
Protecting the marine environment as well as promoting the highest standards of safety and wellness among seafarers, including the provision of excellent training, all contribute to the overall sustainability of the maritime sector. We look forward to a close relationship between our two organisations
