The shipping company of the Latsis family now has a fleet of 27 vessels, tripling its fleet of nine ships in 2009.

The Navios Containership listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange is entering Nasdaq in the U.S. It is one of the 20 largest container ship companies in the world.
“Personality of the Year in Greek Shipping” was given to Yannis Platsidakis. His name is on the Top 100 of Lloyd’s List, along with the top names in the shipping world, including 12 Greek shipowners. Yet, he owns no ships. He is a mathematician and President of Intercargo, the International Union of Shipowners of Dry Load and Managing Director of Anangel Maritime of the Angelicoussis Group.
The Lloyd’s List Intelligence Big Data Award was given to Ioannis Martinos. In 2014 he founded his own company, Signal Maritime, where he combines the energy of a start-up with an experienced industry player. He studied mechanical engineering and graduated from MIT and Tufts Aerospace Engineering.
Passenger Line of the Year was awarded to Seajets, carrying millions of foreign tourists and Greeks to the Greek islands every year.
