Multimarine Shipyards commissioned ISOTECH to prepare an Operational Environmental Management Plan (OEMP), a dynamic management system that identifies the environmental risks and legal obligations associated with the day to day operations of the Dock and specifies the management measures Multimarine will implement in order to prevent or minimise the environmental impacts associated with these operations, including guidance for the monitoring, measuring, and reporting of environmental performance during the operations. This is the first OEMP ever implemented in Cyprus.

Isotech Ltd has been commissioned by Multimarine Shipyards LTD to prepare a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) for the preparatory construction phase of the installation of a 120 m long floating dock at the Limassol Port.
