GREEN4SEA recognised Synergy Group’s commitment to ship management excellence and its leadership role in global tanker management.
Tommy Thomassen, COO (Tankers), said he was very proud that the Synergy Marine Group’s expertise had been honoured by the tanker sector judges, describing the award as “a tribute to our seafarers and shore-based teams who are constantly pioneering in search of more sustainable shipping and a safety-first environment on all our ships.”
Accepting the award, Captain Vikrant Tomar, Master of the UK-flagged Aframax “KMARIN REGARD”, said it was a “tremendous achievement” for Synergy.
Captain Tomar added: “In addressing the climate crisis, Synergy is once again leading the way by retraining its seafarers so the alternative fuels that are key to decarbonisation are handled safely and according to the highest global standards.”
Speaking at the awards ceremony, Mr. Apostolos Belokas, Managing Editor, SAFETY4SEA, which is a leading online portal for global maritime news and initiatives for maritime safety and sustainable shipping, said he was excited to announce Synergy Group as the recipient of this year’s GREEN4SEA Tanker Operator Award, and added:
“Our awards allow shipping to recognise significant efforts and leaders who inspire others to follow in their footsteps.
“We should all be proud of the pivotal role our industry plays in international trade, and the actions of leaders such as Synergy Group as role models are not only necessary but essential.”
