Aqua Marine Electronics joined the Green Award Foundation as an incentive provider during the 2024 Posidonia International Shipping Exhibition in Athens, Greece, on Wednesday, June 5, 2024.
Established in 1992 and located in Piraeus, Greece, Aqua Marine Electronics specializes in the supply, installation, and service of marine electronic equipment for commercial and pleasure vessels.
From navigation safety to communication, emergency preparedness, piracy prevention, and regulatory compliance, marine electronic equipment plays a crucial role in ensuring safety at sea for humans on board, sea animals and plants, vessels, and cargo.
Aqua Marine Electronics is an authorized representative for some of the most outstanding manufacturers of marine electronics, including Furuno, Sailor, Cobham, Danelec, Kelvin
Hughes, Ami Marine, and Jotron, among others.
“As Chairman of the Green Award Foundation, I am thrilled to welcome Aqua Marine Electronics as our newest incentive provider. Their commitment to advancing maritime safety aligns perfectly with our mission. The collaboration will undoubtedly provide significant benefits to our certified ships, enhancing their safety and operational efficiency,” said Mattheou Dimitrios, Chairman, Green Award Foundation.
Among the many innovative marine electronic products and services offered by Aqua Marine Electronics, we are particularly delighted by their recently launched Citadel Box –
an anti-piracy solution designed for installation in citadel rooms to ensure enhanced safety and communication for crew members during piracy threats.
“Aqua Marine’s innovative solutions, like the Citadel Box, exemplify the kind of forward-thinking technology that our industry needs to counter modern threats and ensure the wellbeing of our crews. We look forward to a fruitful partnership that prioritizes safety and security at sea for all stakeholders,” Mattheou said.
“The Citadel Box is a robust and secure communication hub designed to ensure uninterrupted communication in emergency situations, particularly in piracy-prone regions. It integrates seamlessly with existing ship systems, providing a secure line of communication that is critical during crises. Additionally, the Citadel Box is designed with energy efficiency in mind, minimizing its environmental impact while maximizing its
operational reliability,” said Mr. Anestis Apostolidis, Chief Executive Officer, Aqua Marine Electronics.
“Besides the benefits of having assured enhanced safety and security technology that safeguards crew and cargo during emergency situations, Green Award-certified companies can enjoy exclusive incentives, such as discounts and priority support, when they choose Aqua Marine Electronics as their technology partner,” Anestis noted.
“The increased security threats that shipping is facing in recent times make being armed with cutting-edge marine electronic equipment not just a nice-to-have but a wise investment because safety comes first.
We hope our certificate holders will leverage this new partnership to strengthen their marine electronic systems,” said Jan Fransen, Executive Director, Green Award Foundation.

Rotterdam, June 13, 2024
On Wednesday, June 5, 2024, ENTER Consulting & IT Services joined the Green Award Foundation as a proud incentive provider for responsible shipping companies during the 2024 Posidonia International Shipping Exhibition in Athens, Greece.
ENTER Consulting & IT Services, located in Greece, is a systems integrator and provider of end-to-end IT solutions (comprising IT infrastructure, software, and services) that enable businesses to cope with the challenges of the modern business landscape, achieve their business objectives, and grow sustainably.
They specialize in fortifying the digital infrastructure of shipping companies to be more sustainable and protect against cyber attacks.
“As Chairman of the Green Award Foundation, I am excited to welcome ENTER Consulting & IT Services as our new incentive provider. Their dedication to enhancing digital resilience and sustainability in the maritime industry is commendable.
By leveraging their cutting-edge IT solutions, we can significantly bolster the security and efficiency of our certified ships,” said Mattheou Dimitrios, Chairman, Green Award Foundation.
“ENTER’s expertise in intelligent information management and cyber protection will play a pivotal role in safeguarding maritime operations and reducing environmental impact.
We are confident that this partnership will drive forward our mission of promoting responsible and sustainable shipping practices worldwide,” said Mattheou.
Providing insight into their motivation as a Green Award incentive provider, Ioannis Varvaresos, Managing Director, ENTER Consulting & IT Services, said, “Many companies have or are initiating their environmental policies in alignment with an increasing number of similar requirements from their trading partners, which places demand upon their own internal processes.
We have long been involved in applying modern Enterprise Content Management (ECM) technology to enable intelligent information management, which is an important part of striving towards a more environmentally healthy way of working. As a Green Award incentive provider, we are positioned to help shipping companies strengthen their digital transition journey to be more sustainable and safer.”
“In addition to improving internal processes and reducing carbon footprints through digitization, digital resilience is also an important offering of ENTER Consulting that is crucial for the marine industry.
If a ship’s data is compromised, it could result in the shutdown of critical systems such as navigation, communication, and cargo management, causing potential collisions, groundings, or other maritime accidents, endangering crew, passengers, and
the environment,” said Jan Fransen, Executive Director of the Green Award Foundation.
As we continue to advocate for responsible and sustainable shipping practices, the expertise and innovative solutions provided by ENTER Consulting will be invaluable in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and environmental stewardship of the global shipping community.
