SAFETY4SEA Athens Forum

We are excited to be sponsoring and speaking at the 15^th SAFETY4SEA Athens Forum on Thursday 3rd of October 2024 at Grand Hyatt Athens.

This year’s event will focus on fostering safety excellence and sustainable shipping. Key discussions will be centred around crew, lessons learned, safety practices, regulatory compliance, and the integration of sustainable technologies to enhance maritime operations.

Mintra’s Innovation Director, Valentinos Steliou, will be taking the stage to present on "Enabling Seafarers for the Energy Transition". Valentinos will delve into the evolving landscape of seafarer training, addressing the importance of staying proactive in preparing our seafarers to navigate the energy transition and stay ahead. The knowledge gap created by technological innovation and the evolving demands of the industry is widening - how prepared are we to close it?
