The President and immediate past President of the Union of Greek Shipowners (UGS) were both recognized as the 2022 Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards were presented before an audience of over 1,000 guests at the InterContinental Athenaeum on December 2 in Athens.
The annual awards recognize noteworthy achievements in the Greek shipping sector, promote Greece as a maritime center, and help fundraise for charities – this year supporting Argo, an organization assisting children with disabilities in the families of Greek seafarers.
In a welcome address, Minister of Shipping & Island Policy Ioannis Plakiotakis offered congratulations to nominees and winners of the 2022 Awards.
Melina Travlos, who earlier this year was elected the first female President of the UGS, was named Greek Shipping Personality of the Year. Travlos was revealed as the winner of the Award just minutes after Lloyd’s List/Propeller Club Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to her predecessor, Theodore Veniamis, who had led the country’s ship-owning community for 13 years before stepping down this year.
