Creation of a maritime technology and innovation center on the Cyclades island of Syros is the next step towards strengthening the local Neorion shipyard, as well as a beacon for shipping in the 21st century, US ambassador to Greece Geoffrey Pyatt said on Friday, during an online presentation of the initiative.
The center is the brainchild of US-based Onyx, which operates the revived shipyard, and multinational Cisco.
Pyatt, who’s recorded one of the more high-profile and active presences by a US envoy in the east Mediterranean country in decades, also praised the technology support provided by the California-based tech conglomerate.
The center aims to train merchant marine officers and shipping executives in the use of state-of-the-art programs, monitoring applications and big data, in order to maximize the effectiveness of routes and minimize fuel consumption – and, by extension, C02 emissions – all towards generating greater profit margins.
