Wishes from the Open Sea

[ The Ship’s Log – 25 December 2025 ]

Captain Yiannis Kougioumtzoglou shares his Christmas and New Year wishes as he tunes in to Voice of Greece and “Fair Winds and Following Seas,” offering his heartfelt thanks to ERT’s global radio for its meaningful presence and enduring contribution to seafarers and the Greek diaspora everywhere. As he beautifully puts it,
“A voice from home, a song on the radio, and the feeling that someone always remembers us bring calm to the seas.”

Thank you, Captain Giannis, for your generous words. We are always by your side.
Warm wishes for a Merry Christmas, a happy and creative New Year!
