STARLING FLEET wins ESG Shipping Award in Athens

Great news from Greece: STARLING FLEET with Alexander Nothegger and his team has been honoured with an ESG Shipping Award in Athens. A well-deserved milestone that proves that the transition toward a sustainable inland shipping and river cruise industry is in full swing.

At Concordia Damen, we are proud of our role in this success story. We are the designer and builder of their groundbreaking, ‘dual-fuel-ready’ EPIC Class river cruise vessels (such as the Century Star).

What makes these vessels award-winning?

• Certified with the Green Award Gold Standard
• State-of-the-art hybrid propulsion: equipped with an advanced, highly efficient propulsion system
• Future-proof architecture: designed ‘dual-fuel-ready’, allowing them to transition to low- and zero-emission fuel solutions as soon as the supporting infrastructure becomes available.
• Advanced low-draught hull: optimised engineering for maximum efficiency, even during extreme low-water levels

This success demonstrates that our clients’ socially and environmentally conscious entrepreneurship and innovative Dutch shipbuilding go hand in hand to reduce the ecological footprint on European rivers.

On behalf of our entire team, we congratulate everyone at STARLING FLEET on this wonderful recognition!
