Almi Tankers obtains ISO 22301 Certification!

Almi Tankers is proud to announce that it was certified with ISO 22301 by Lloyd’s Register. ISO 22301 is the international standard for Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS). It provides a framework for organisations to plan, establish, implement, operate, monitor, review, maintain, and continually improve a documented management system to protect against, and reduce the likelihood of disruption of the organisation’s operation due to unexpected calamities or incidents.

The CEO, Cpt. Stylianos Dimouleas, thanked and congratulated the team for this success: “This prestigious certification demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of operational resilience and ensuring that our services remain uninterrupted even in the face of unexpected challenges and disruptions.

Our journey towards ISO 22301 certification reflects our active progress and dedication to continuous improvement. It is a significant milestone that complements our existing certifications in Environmental Management (ISO 14001), Quality Management (ISO 9001), Energy Management (ISO 50001), Information Security Management (ISO 27001), and Occupational Health and Safety Management (ISO 45001).

Each of these certifications underlines our holistic approach to delivering exceptional services while prioritising safety, health, environmental protection, sustainability, quality, security, energy efficiency and the well-being of our employees and stakeholders. Achieving the ISO 22301 certification is a testament to our robust risk management practices and our ability to ensure business continuity with the four R’s tenet: Respond, Recover, Resume and Restore, which is crucial in the dynamic and VUCA world in which the shipping industry operates.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated team, whose constant effort and commitment have made this achievement possible. Their hard work ensures that we not only meet but exceed the expectations of our clients and partners.

As we celebrate this accomplishment, we are excited about the future and look forward to continuing to set industry standards in operational excellence and resilience.”

Almi Tankers made a significant donation to support the victims of the Thessaly plain floods through ‘Synenosis’

Almi Tankers joined the initiative by ‘Synenosis’, the Greek Shipowners’ Social Welfare Company to collect 50 million euros to support the region of Thessaly after the devastating storm “Daniel” in September 2023. Thousands of people lost their homes and businesses completely, while others suffered extensive damage, requiring long and costly rehabilitation work. The start of the school year was impossible for tens of thousands of children, while the affected municipalities were trying to restore children’s access to school in different time frames, depending on the damage suffered in each area. At the same time, a large number of dead animals were recorded, while an epidemiological crisis already occurred, with many cases of gastroenteritis and respiratory infections. The floods dealt a huge blow to livestock and agricultural production not only for the region but also for the whole country.

The President of the Union of Greek Shipowners (UGS), Melina Travlos, signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (December 2023) with the Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation, Christos Staikouras, and the CEO of the Company “Ktiriakes Ypodomes S.A.” Athanasios Giannaris for the restoration of all damaged schools in Thessaly and Central Greece, which were seriously affected by the recent catastrophic floods. The signing of the Memorandum at the Ministry was also attended by the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure & Transportation, Nikos Tachiaos, the President of the BoD of “Ktiriakes Ypodomes S.A.,” Timoleon Katsipos, as well as the Vice-President of the BoD of UGS, Michael Chandris and the Treasurer of the BoD of UGS, John Xylas. The President of the UGS, Melina Travlos, mentioned during the signing that UGS and Greek shipping has been a supporter of education and they are proud to undertake the restoration of all 33 schools which were affected. This is the first project to be effected with part of the donation, more projects to follow with the remainder of the Union of Greek Shipowners donation.
