The Piraeus Port Authority (PPA) has been awarded a double certification in the ISO standards for quality management and environmental management.

The certifications were presented to the Greek port by the Lloyd’s Register (LR) at a ceremony during the international shipping exhibition Posidonia, and highlight the authority’s commitment to best practice for quality, environmental management and pollution prevention.

The certifications, ISO9001 and ISO14001, have recently been extended to cover the provision of RoRo & Container Terminal Services (and Port Cruise and Ferry services) as well as the management of logistic centres and port construction and maintenance projects.

PPA Deputy CEO, Capt. Weng Lin, commented: “The port of Piraeus has included in its Strategic Planning the certification of the provided services and the protection of the environment.

“PPA invests in management systems applied worldwide aiming at continuous improvement of its services”
