Latsco Shipping Limited, linked to Marianna Latsco and Paris Kasidokostas-Latsos, has declared its involvement in a significant study focused on carbon capture technologies aboard ships. This initiative is part of the European Maritime Safety Agency's (EMSA) efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from maritime operations. The study aims to evaluate systems that will capture and store carbon dioxide produced by ship engines before it is released into the atmosphere, thus striving to lessen the environmental footprint of shipping activities.

As part of the project, Latsco participated in hazard identification workshops (HAZID), contributing operational expertise to assess the practical implementation of carbon capture systems in real maritime conditions. The findings from these workshops will play a crucial role in understanding how to effectively integrate these technologies into existing shipping operations. The company's engagement underscores the growing recognition in the maritime industry of the urgent need to adapt to stricter environmental regulations and reduce carbon emissions.

This initiative aligns with broader European efforts to accelerate decarbonization within the maritime sector, reflecting a commitment from industry players to seek sustainable solutions. As pressure mounts globally to address climate change, Latsco's involvement in the EMSA study showcases the proactive steps taken by shipping companies to innovate and implement practices that support a greener future for maritime transport.
