  • Konstantinos Economou, General Secretary, Association of Banking Executives of Hellenic Shipping & Head of Shipping Finance, Attica, Pancreta Bank
  • George Margaritopoulos, Associate Director, Richards Hogg Lindley (RHL)
  • Harilaos Petrakakos, Director - Senior Surveyor, P&P Marine Consultants Inc.

Following the seminar, members and friends from the shipping industry had the opportunity to interact in a warm atmosphere during the cocktail reception. A highlight of the evening was the much-anticipated Vassilopita Cutting, where the lucky winners of the traditional coins received wonderful gifts.

A special thank you to the companies that generously contributed these exceptional gifts: AEGEAN Airlines, Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens, Gallery Kapsioti, and SeaOrama: World of Shipping.
