The annual general assembly and elections for a new board of directors of the Union of Greek Shipowners (UGS) was held on 6 February.
Melina Travlos, Chair of the Board of shipping and transportation company Neptune Group, was re-elected president of the Union for a second term, while the first 10 elected members, in the order of their vote tally, are: Melina Travlos, Nikolaos Veniamis, Nikolaos Martinos, Georgios Youroukos, Angeliki Frangou, Evangelos Marinakis, George Margaronis, George Karageorgiou, George Economou and Michael Chandris.
UGS President Melina Travlos commented: “We have withstood every challenge and responded effectively to every new development. Our shipping industry remained and remains the leader — indeed, against unequal and powerful competition, which stretches from east to west in various forms, and from state-owned shipping companies to large multinational business conglomerates.”
