GreekShippingAwards 2021

Each December, the Greek shipping industry and its partners turn their attention to the Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards. Despite the unique challenges that 2021 has brought, this year will be no different in the respect that the Greek Shipping Awards will go on.

Since its launch in 2004, the Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards has been the best-supported event of its kind in the maritime world, and that has remained true in spite of the problems posed by the pandemic. The yearly event has been used to attracting audiences of 1,000 or more guests in person on Awards night, with the exception of 2020 when the first virtual Greek Shipping Awards unfolded excitingly before an even larger, worldwide online audience.

Whichever format, or combination of formats, is chosen for the event in 2021 it will be with the aim of delivering the best possible Awards event, one that lives up to the status of the world’s largest shipowning and shipmanagement nation.

Grappling with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic has once again shown the depths of Greek shipping’s professionalism, adaptability and durability and its contribution to ensuring the transportation around the world of vital commodities and goods.

Many of the industry’s service partners have also risen to the challenges of digital and remote provision of services, while joining with shipping companies in facing the arguably even greater challenge of decarbonising the industry.

Those are sure to be among the themes running through the stories of many award candidates this year in what is expected to be a highly competitive year in most categories. But it has also been an extraordinary 12 months in the markets, and Greek shipowners have been among the fastest to react to new realities and opportunities.

Once again, a prestigious and highly knowledgeable panel of judges from across the industry will assess all nominations and have the responsibility of deciding the winners of this year’s Awards.

We look forward to keeping in touch with you as interest and anticipation build ahead of this year’s Greek Shipping Awards. Join us on December 3 to learn who will receive this year’s honours in the various segments of achievement within Greek shipping and the Greek market and, if you are reading this before the nominations deadline of October 15, don’t forget to enter yourself or others for one or more of the Awards.
