PRESS RELEASE
Whenever a new organization that provides goods or services promoting safety or reducing the environmental impact of shipping joins us to offer incentives—financial or otherwise—we consider it a great gain! This is exactly how we feel as we welcome Turbo General, a specialist in turbocharger spares and repairs based in Athens, Greece, to the Green Award family.
Since its establishment in 1975, Turbo General has been working with the marine, industrial, locomotive, and automotive industries to improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, utilize waste energy, comply with environmental regulations, enhance engine longevity, support the use of alternative fuels, and provide operational flexibility.
Speaking on what motivated them to become one of our incentive providers, Vasilios Michael Chrysopoulos, CEO, Turbo General, said, “Our decision to partner with the Green Award Foundation to motivate frontrunner shipping companies through incentives is driven by our ambition to promote sustainable business practices.”
Turbocharging and repairs are highly encouraged practices in the shipping industry as they boost the power and efficiency of an engine by using exhaust gases to compress more air into the engine, leading to better performance and potentially lower fuel consumption and emissions.
“For nearly 50 years, we have been serving the marine, industrial, locomotive, and automotive industries with turbocharging and maintenance. Turbochargers are the lungs of every engine, and without correct maintenance, a ship might become unseaworthy. We also provide training services to shipping companies, and our headquarters in Athens is chosen by several maritime academies and approved by the ministries of education and ministries of shipping of Malta, Cyprus, and Egypt to provide hands-on seminars to seafarers and students,” said Chrysopoulos.
Besides real-time access to their team of quality personnel for turbocharging and repairs, Green Award-certified shipping companies will enjoy added benefits, including, but not limited to special discounts, financial savings, operational improvements, enhanced reputation, regulatory compliance, competitive advantage, valuable networking opportunities and much more.
“As we continue our mission to inspire sustainable practices within the maritime industry, the partnership with Turbo General represents another step forward in achieving our vision. Turbo General’s commitment to innovation in turbocharging technology aligns perfectly with our goal to reduce environmental impact while improving operational efficiency. We are excited to see the value this partnership will bring to Green Award-certified companies, further reinforcing the industry’s drive towards greener and safer shipping,” said Capt Mattheou Dimitrios, Chairman of the Green Award Foundation.
