Signal Maritime Services, a commercial ship management company with a focus on digital analytics and management methods, is the 33rd company to join the Sea Cargo Charter, and its first Greek Signatory.
“The Sea Cargo Charter is a great initiative that assists the alignment of all maritime partners towards the industry’s decarbonization goals. We are excited to be part of an association that acts as a key enabler for environmentally conscious changes and we very much look forward to contributing to this endeavour,” said Panos Dimitracopoulos, CEO, Signal Maritime Services.
Sea Cargo Charter Signatories commit to benchmarking their bulk chartering activities against the IMO ambition to reduce GHG emissions from international shipping by at least 50 percent by 2050. Signatories report their climate alignment scores on an annual basis.
“I welcome Signal Maritime Services’ decision to join the Sea Cargo Charter,” added Jan Dieleman, President, Cargill Ocean Transportation and Chair of the Sea Cargo Charter Association. “They bring a unique perspective as the first Greek Signatory and good understanding of the data linked to our initiative and I look forward to their contributions.”
