Shipping’s largest awards event, the Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards, will once again put the spotlight on some of the industry’s leading individuals and companies as the achievements of Greek shipping and the Greek maritime cluster are celebrated at the traditional end-of-year awards presentation dinner In Athens.
Yearly since 2004, the Greek Shipping Awards has attracted capacity audiences of hundreds of guests and this year, the 19th edition of the awards, is expected to be no different.
Strong support for this year’s Awards is led by overall Event Sponsor GMS. The welcome drinks are sponsored by Erma First while China Classification Society is once again offering the champagne toast to Greek shipping’s health. They are backed up by a roster of prestigious Greek and international sponsors of the individual awards.
Nominations are coming in as the deadline for entries for the 2022 awards nears. Nominations must be received by the organisers before midnight, Greek time, on Friday 14 October in order to be accepted.
Once again, a prestigious and highly knowledgeable panel of judges from across the industry will assess all nominations and will decide the winners of this year’s Awards.
The panel, broadly representing the Greek shipping industry, will be tasked with choosing ‘the best of the best’ in a range of categories that span the full gamut of Greece’s shipping industry – from the dry cargo, tanker and passenger line sectors – to achievements in safety, sustainability, technology, shipbroking finance and more. There will be excitement, too, in learning the judging panel’s choice of winners for prestigious individual awards such as Personality of the Year, Seafarer of the Year, the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Next Generation Award.
All the winners will be revealed at the 2022 gala awards dinner on Friday, December 2 in Athens. Bookings for the dinner are already open.
