“40 years HELMEPA”
It was June 4, 1982 when the President of the Union of Greek Shipowners together with the Secretary General of the Panhellenic Seamen’s Federation, signed the Declaration of Voluntary Commitment “To Save the Seas” on 4 June 1982 as well as an Action Plan upon which the Association was founded and has been operating ever since.
It was then that we were introduced to the HELMEPA's beloved seagull, who is reminding us the last 40 years to take care and love our seas and coasts.
