The efficient operation relied on 70 skilled staff and 220 trained associates, who ensured flawless execution of work, with a focus on safety, environmental compliance, and innovation.

The range of vessels serviced demonstrates the dynamics of Antipollution Egypt, as a total of:

  • 324 Oil Tankers
  • 213 Bulk Carriers
  • 175 General Tankers

    175 Tankers

  • 116 Container Ships
  • 110 Freighter Ships
  • 31 Other types of ships

Special mention is made of the giant ships in the French-owned CMA CGM fleet, such as the CMA CGM ADONIS, OSIRIS and HERMES, as well as the service of the cruise ship AROYA.

Customer satisfaction is reflected in the positive ratings for speed, transparency, and cooperation with local agents. In addition, the company has already launched a pilot awareness campaign for onboard waste sorting, in alignment with Annex V of MARPOL.

Vyron Vassiliadis, Chairman of V Group, said: “This milestone is not just about numbers. It is about laying the foundation for a new, global standard for sustainable shipping management – people-centric, regulation-driven, and innovation-driven.”
