“Transitioning 10 ships in 10 months is a tremendous accomplishment in any year, but especially in 2020. Through ETM, we look forward to continuing to provide the seamless service our customers have come to know and expect”.

Government of Belgium awarded Interim Documents of Compliance (DoC) under the
International Safety Management (ISM) Code to ETM.
