SAFETY4SEA, in collaboration with SHIPPINGInsight, is pleased to announce that Star Bulk Carriers Corp. has received the 2019 Hellenic American Maritime Dry Bulk Operator Award, sponsored by Bureau Veritas, at a gala dinner and award ceremony which successfully concluded on May 29th at Megaron Athens, The Banqueting Hall, the evening on day one of the inaugural Hellenic American Maritime Forum, in Athens.

Star Bulk Carriers Corp received the award for demonstrating operational excellence in dry bulk shipping. Star Bulk is a global shipping company, having a fleet of 111 modern vessels with an average age of less than 8 years and a total capacity of more than 12.6 million deadweight. Star Bulk’s vessels transport major bulks which include iron ore, coal and grain, and minor bulks such as bauxite, fertilizers and steel products. Every year, Star Bulk ships more than 37 million metric tons of cargo across the world; safely, efficiently and with care to the environment.

Presenting the award Mrs. Paillette Palaiologou, Vice President, Bureau Veritas said:

Star Bulk is one of the top performing shipping companies in Rightship risk ranking globally, while remaining one of the most competitive dry bulk operators among its peers. Remaining committed timely and compliant with marine environment regulations, Star Bulk has selected the option to retrofit its entire fleet with exhaust gas cleaning systems in view of the 2020 IMO Sulphur regulation.

Accepting the award on behalf of Star Bulk Carriers Corp, Mr. Spyros Capralos, Chairman, stated:
