Celebrating the industry and our marine environment this National Maritime Week
SEPTEMBER 29, 2023
The PTC Group Shipping Cluster celebrated National Maritime Week by highlighting this year's theme of "MARPOL @ 50: Our Commitment Goes On," which spotlights the IMO's marine protection treaty and promotes discussions on the next phase of actions by the IMO and the industry to further protect the planet and the oceans.
The PTC Group, in its commitment to moving a sustainable world, embraces this call through various initiatives that help promote people, planet, and prosperity.
