The Hellenic Environmental Center is one of the largest and most experienced environmental companies globally, with an outstanding contribution to the protection of the marine environment wherever it operates through the provision of integrated Port Reception Facilities.

Our company has established a pioneering and dynamic role in the protection of the marine environment, providing exemplary quality services to all major shipping companies in the European ports, such as in Piraeus, Hamburg and Gibraltar.

Responding proactively to the increasing demands of the austere environmental legislation such as the International IMO Convention Marpol 73/78, which obliges every port to provide adequate port reception and treatment facilities for ship-generated waste, H.E.C. is distinguished for creating a powerful shield towards the protection of the marine environment.

This has been achieved through the development of an ecological umbrella which embraces the whole process i.e. from waste collection to treatment and is renowned for the minimized environmental footprint that delivers in all the ports it operates.

In line with the vision, the principles and strategic core values of the Hellenic Environmental Center, the target is the establishment of top level “Green” Ports worldwide.
