In a strategic move to bolster its presence in the Greek maritime market, Value Maritime has teamed up with Euploia Drydocks & Services. This partnership aims to promote and sell Value Maritime’s range of emission-reducing technologies, including the Filtree system (SOx scrubber), individual Filtree components, the Onboard Carbon Capture System (OCCS), and related engineering services. The collaboration is set to bring Value Maritime’s solutions closer to local shipowners and operators, leveraging Euploia’s strong network of dry dock services and shipyards.
Semiramis Stampira, Commercial Manager Greece for Value Maritime, emphasized the importance of timing in this partnership. “Being in the right place at the right time is crucial for our business. Euploia is well-positioned to engage with customers ahead of shipbuilding or retrofit decisions. This timing enables them to assist shipowners in evaluating the right emission-reducing technologies for their fleets. They deliver quality components, supported by installation and related services, all maintained to high standards in both local and global markets.”
Charidimos Valentakis, Managing Director of Euploia Drydocks & Services, expressed pride in the new partnership. “We are proud to announce our new partnership with Value Maritime, a pioneering company in sustainable maritime technologies. Value Maritime’s cutting-edge technologies are a perfect match for our commitment to delivering high-performance, environmentally responsible solutions to our clients. We are confident that this partnership will significantly contribute to the decarbonization efforts of the Greek shipping industry and will generate tangible value for our customers.”
Maarten Lodewijks, Co-founder & Director of Value Maritime, added, “We are delighted to welcome Euploia as an extension of our team in Greece. The Mediterranean is a key region for us, offering significant opportunities for emission reduction and added value for our clients.”
This partnership comes at a time when the maritime industry is under increasing pressure to reduce emissions and adopt sustainable practices. The Value Group, which includes Value Maritime and Value Carbon, has been at the forefront of maritime sustainability since 2017. Value Maritime’s technology is designed to reduce the environmental footprint of shipping, while Value Carbon focuses on land-based carbon management, addressing the entire carbon value chain.
The collaboration between Value Maritime and Euploia Drydocks & Services is expected to accelerate the adoption of emission-reducing technologies in the Greek shipping industry. By combining Value Maritime’s innovative solutions with Euploia’s extensive network and expertise in ship repairs and conversions, the partnership aims to deliver high-performance, environmentally responsible solutions to clients.
This development could shape future trends in the maritime sector by demonstrating the effectiveness of strategic partnerships in driving sustainability. As the industry continues to grapple with regulatory pressures and the need for decarbonization, such collaborations could become more common, fostering innovation and accelerating the adoption of green technologies. The partnership also highlights the importance of local expertise and networks in promoting and implementing sustainable solutions, a factor that could influence future business strategies in the maritime industry.
