Two gold awards for PCT S.A. at Environmental Awards 2026

PCT S.A. (Piraeus Container Terminal S.A.), a subsidiary of COSCO SHIPPING Ports, has received two Gold Awards at the Environmental Awards 2026, in recognition of its implementation of innovative environmental management practices and the development of technology-driven solutions that enhance the sustainability and resilience of port infrastructure.
The awards recognise two projects, “Carbon Intelligence Framework: Monitoring, Managing and Reducing Port Emissions” and “SMART Microclimate Forecasting Network: Enhancing Climate Resilience”, both of which form part of the Company's broader strategy to decarbonise its operations and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
The PCT Carbon Intelligence Framework is a comprehensive system for recording, monitoring and managing greenhouse gas emissions. It supports evidence-based decision-making through an integrated decarbonisation strategy, enabling the implementation of prioritised, measurable and targeted initiatives to reduce the Company's carbon footprint. The systematic implementation of this strategy has already contributed to a reduction in CO₂ emissions of more than 35% compared to the 2022 baseline year.
The SMART Microclimate Forecasting Network comprises 28 meteorological stations and leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning technologies to deliver highly localised microclimate forecasts and early warnings. The system makes a significant contribution to strengthening climate resilience, further enhancing employee safety and supporting business continuity across port operations.
During the awards ceremony, held on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, Ms. Nina Argyropoulou, Deputy Manager, Public Relations & Sustainability Department at PCT, stated:
“The two Gold Awards received by PCT at the Environmental Awards reaffirm our commitment to translating sustainability objectives into tangible actions that deliver meaningful and measurable results. By leveraging technology and Artificial Intelligence, we continue to invest in innovative solutions that contribute to reducing our environmental footprint while strengthening climate resilience and enhancing the safety of our port operations. For us, the true value of innovation lies in the positive impact it creates for the environment, infrastructure and society.”
