HELMEPA (26)
The Hellenic Marine Environment Protection Association - HELMEPA is a voluntary non-governmental, non-profit organization inspired by the late George P. Livanos and founded jointly by Greek seafarers and shipowners in Piraeus in 1982. The Association's mission is to motivate the human element in shipping "from shipowner to seafarer" through proper information, education and training, so that a spirit of pollution prevention and maritime safety prevails throughout the industry. HELMEPA volunteer members include 480 ships, 200 companies and 13,000 Greek seafarers. HELMEPA also conducts environmental awareness campaigns throughout the country. With about 4,000 children-members annually, the :"HELMEPA Junior" education program, makes the younger generation the most effective courier of environmental messages. HELMEPA is a founding member of INTERMEPA, the International Marine Environment Protection Association.
