Greece has introduced a new digital platform designed to streamline the issuance and validation of seafarer certificates, marking another step toward the digital transformation of maritime administration. The system enables Greek seafarers to submit applications electronically for Certificates of Competency, Certificates of Proficiency, and certificate endorsements, reducing paperwork and administrative delays via the platform ani.gov.gr.
According to the Ministry of Maritime and Insular Policy, the platform aims to improve efficiency, transparency, and accessibility for seafarers while simplifying certification procedures. The initiative forms part of Greece's broader strategy to modernize maritime services, support the seafaring profession, and strengthen the competitiveness of the Greek shipping sector.
The development aligns with wider industry efforts to accelerate digitalization and the adoption of electronic certification solutions across global shipping.
