JRC Reports ECDIS Success in Greece

Greeks, perhaps more than any other people in the world, have been mariners without interruption throughout history. At 100 years old, JRC has a long maritime history in the field of marine electronics, something that the shipping nation of Greece recognizes now more than ever. This could be why the JRC ECDIS has become a preferred choice for many shipping companies. With new mandates and especially for retrofitting projects, cost effective choices are typically made. Many owners have already chosen one JRC ECDIS at the new building stage over the last few years.
