Greek summer fire relief

In Greece, the summer 2007 was marked by devastating fires which destroyed part of the country's infrastructure and nature reserves. An estimated 2.5 million acres were burned in 6,000 fires. Jointly with Ceres, a Greek shipping company, Euronav decided to make a EUR 500,000 donation for the construction of a secondary road running through olive groves that were damaged by fires. This road will provide access to the farming areas for 200 families and also contribute to management of fire prevention and fire fighting.
