As of July 2016, HEREMA has been appointed competent authority for offshore safety in Oil & Gas operations in Greece. In that context and remit, the Company undertakes a series of activities including the application of international standards for the drafting of national guidelines; the approval of Report on Major Hazards, drafted by the operators of offshore hydrocarbons facilities; and the inspection of said facilities.
In 2023, a team of HEREMA experts performed the annual inspection of facilities in Prinos and South Kavala, i.e. the only offshore hydrocarbons facilities currently operating in Greece. The aim of the inspection was to monitor the prevention and mitigation measures, taking into consideration the content of the relevant Report on Major Hazards.
