Greeks Taking Over Lloyd's List

shipping sectorThe British newspaper Lloyd’s List has published its list of the top 100 most important entrepreneurs in the world of shipping. John Angelicoussis, head of Angelicoussis Shipping Group, was featured in the top five, while fourteen other Greeks were also included on the list.
Besides Angelicoussis, who right now owns the biggest Greek shipping group — at least in term of ships, 45 dry-bulk and 41 tankers — two more Greeks, Angeliki Frangou of Navios and George Economou of DryShips, were featured in the top 10.
Navios recently showed signs of growth since it added 50 more ships to its fleet and already agreed with HSH Nordbank to add five more container ships and five tanker ships.
DryShips is active in the tanker and container ship markets and has managed to stay afloat through the economic crisis. Its subsidiary involved in the oil platform sector, OceanRig, has presented DryShips with great profit and played a key role in the global establishment of the company.
The other Greeks featured on the list are Peter Livanos (22nd) and George Prokopiou (23rd) of the Union of Shipowners; Theodoros Veniamis (51st); Constantinos Constantakopoulos (57th), who is following the family tradition in the shipping sector; Nikos Tsakos (61st); Peter Georgiopoulos (69th); Evangelos Marinakis (73rd); Symeon Palios (77th); Petrops Pappas (80th); John Platsidakis (83rd); Dimitris Melissanidis (94th); and Haralambos Fafalios (96th).
