MCA welcomes Antipollution Egypt as new member

Marine Care Association is pleased to welcome Antipollution Egypt as a new member of the association. Antipollution Egypt is a new Egyptian company, born from the collaboration between V Group of Companies and the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), aligning with Egypt’ ambitious goal to establish the first Green Canal by 2030.  

We are very pleased to welcome Antipollution Egypt as a new member and welcome the ambitions of both Antipollution Egypt and the state to develop such a logistic hub. Its strategic location between the Mediterranean and Red Seas, linked by the Suez Canal, has historically facilitated trade and communication. We wish all the best to Antipollution Egypt and hope they will find our network helpful to develop the best practices in the region.” says Marga Hauttekeete, President of MCA 

By joining MCA, Antipollution Egypt gains access to a network of industry leaders, technical experts, regulators, and service providers dedicated to promoting excellence in maritime environmental protection. This platform will facilitate the exchange of knowledge, operational experience, and innovative solutions that can enhance our service quality and operational efficiency”, states Kriton Katsamenis, CEO of Antipollution Egypt. 

All members are important and have a role to play. I am particularly pleased with our international expansion. Africa is an important continent, and its largest ports are keen to establish first-class port reception facilities. I sincerely hope that MCA can provide support to all those seeking a platform for exchanging experience and best practice on all matters relating to ship-generated waste. I am looking forward to working with Antipollution Egypt”, adds Sophie Delair, Secretary General of Marine Care Association.
