They outlined RINA's substantial growth and strategic direction in Türkiye, emphasizing the nation's increasing influence within RINA's global operations.
Özge Ersoz Gümüşkaynak highlighted Türkiye's robust maritime infrastructure and skilled labor force, positioning it as a key player in the competitive landscape of maritime repair and maintenance. The discussions also touched on collaborative strategies to meet IMO's environmental goals, with RINA outlining future initiatives and technological adaptations required for the maritime industry's transition to sustainable operations.
