    Flag Environmental Achievement Award

    Hellenic Shipmanagement Corp. has been awarded with the Green Flag Environmental Achievement Award granted by the Port of Long Beach for compliance with the Voluntary Vessel Speed Reduction Program in 2009.

    This program urges vessels to travel at or below 12 knots within 20 miles of the coast to reduce emissions. By achieving this award, Hellenic Shipmanagement is eligible for a 15% reduction in dockage otherwise payable to the Port in 2010.

    The Port's voluntary speed reduction program states that vessels entering or leaving the Port observe a 12-knot speed limit in a zone that extends 20 nautical miles seaward from Point Fermin. The speed of every vessel in the speed reduction zone is measured and recorded by the Marine Exchange of Southern California.
