ONEX Shipyards and Technologies Group has announced a strategic agreement with Antipollution, a member of the V Group, for the design and construction of four state-of-the-art ecological vessels, with an option for four additional units.
The agreement was signed at the Posidonia 2026 international exhibition in the presence of Greece’s Minister of Shipping and Island Policy, Vasilis Kikilias, underscoring the project’s significance for the national economy and international shipping.
The vessels will be designed and built entirely in Greece, utilising the combined capabilities of ONEX’s Elefsina Shipyards and the historic Syros Shipyards at Neorio. Classification will be provided by ABS, guaranteeing quality, safety and environmental excellence.
The new eco vessels will incorporate advanced technologies for the collection of ship-generated waste and its transport to land-based facilities in compliance with the strictest international MARPOL convention standards, while their design also prepares them for operations in conditions of marine pollution and maritime emergencies.
Panos Xenokostas, Founder and President of ONEX Shipyards and Technologies Group and President of the Association of Hellenic Shipyards, described the agreement as a clear demonstration of ONEX’s strength, infrastructure and expertise to design and build any specialised vessel required by the global market on Greek soil. He framed the project as a new chapter for the Greek shipbuilding industry, positioning ONEX not merely as a follower of green shipping developments but as an active shaper of them across its Elefsina and Syros facilities.
