EURASIA’S COMMITMENT TO QUALITY AND SAFETY IS REWARDED BY USCG

Eurasia is pleased to announce that all our managed Hong Kong flagged vessels trading to US Waters have been awarded Qualship 21 certificates by USCG. We understand that less than ten percent of all foreign flagged ships that operate in the United States have earned this designation, putting these vessels in an elite class. We consider this as a remarkable accomplishment and recognition of our commitment to Quality and Safety both ashore and afloat. The vessels designated into this programme also enjoy certain commercial benefits.
