Theodore Chouliaras, President of UPoilTankers and a shipping economist with extensive experience in banking and capital markets, together with Georgios Oikonomou, Managing Director of UPoilTankers, speak to Fair Winds and Following Seas on Voice of Greece.
“Greece is a global leader in shipping, seamanship and the many professions that support the maritime industry, and we must continue to build on this strength. The world looks to Greece, which is why so many people come to Posidonia. It is a place where ideas are exchanged, discussions take place and important business agreements are reached. Thanks to our experience and expertise, Greeks have become decision-makers in the global shipping industry. Maritime excellence is part of our DNA,” they note.
Speaking about the next generation, they stress that “young people have a genuine thirst for progress, ambition and a passion to succeed in shipping. Around the world, the name ‘the Greeks’ carries prestige and credibility. We encourage young people to seize the opportunities the maritime sector offers and pursue careers in shipping here in Greece, where the industry continues to grow and where there is still tremendous potential for further development.”
