The Hellenic Shipowners’ Association of Tugs, Salvage, Antipollution and OSVs was founded in 1980, having its registered office in Piraeus.
Since its establishment, it is steadily developing and has become the most prominent and reliable representative of Greek owners of tugs, salvage, antipollution and OSVs.
The mission of the Association, since its establishment in the shipping industry of our country, is to provide quality services in towing, salvage, shipwreck removal and the protection of the marine environment. Noteworthy is the fact that all these activities have been performed with the utmost respect for the protection of business and human resources employed either onboard or on land-based jobs.
Simultaneously, the Association has been following all the international developments, mainly, through its participation in the European Tugowners Association (ETA), in order to enable its members to be informed about subjects of common interest and comply with international standards.
Support of Greek Universities
The Association funds studies, supporting Greek universities in actions related to its orientation sector and, thus, is introduced to the European Development Portals.
Quality Collaborations
The Association bases its action on security and ensures quality collaborations with state bodies and developing industries through participation in presentations and talks, as well as, becoming an affiliate member of ETA.
Modernization of the Statute
With the addition of new members, the Association gradually began to modernize its statute since 2008. The statute was amended again in 2019, because of the need to introduce new members-companies from various related shipping industries.
Progression & Protection of the industry
Since 2000, the Association has intensified its efforts for the progress and protection of our industry.
