Former Chairman of INTERCARGO, Dr Spyros M Polemis passes away

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of our former Chairman Dr Spyros M Polemis, on June 21st.

Dr Polemis was born in Andros in 1937, studied in the USA, and until recently was a very influential representative of the global shipping community in Athens, London and New York, always committed to participate diligently in multiple international fora. He served as our Chairman from 1994 to 1996, having fulfilled the role of Vice-Chairman from 1990 to 1994.

Dr Polemis was instrumental in consolidating INTERCARGO’s presence in the shipping industry, during the 1980's and 1990's by which time INTERCARGO achieved accredited NGO status at the IMO.

We send our deepest condolences to his family.
