The QUALSHIP 21 program of the US Coast Guard recognizes vessels that meet the highest standards of safe operation, while it is considered internationally as an honorary recognition.
Each vessel undergoes a strict review process before being accepted into the program.
It is highlighted that the initiative’s goal is the elimination of substandard shipping while simultaneously rewarding Shipping Administrations as well as vessels and shipping companies, which have undertaken commitments related to maritime safety and security, promoting Quality Shipping. It is noted that Ionic currently manages a fleet of 11 bulk carriers and 7 tankers.
