The award marks the first new category added to the shipping industry’s favourite annual awards for several years. It follows the success of the ‘Deal of the Decade’ award, offered twice in the event’s 20-year history. These special awards, presented in 2013 and 2023, were won by Angeliki Frangou and Evangelos Marinakis, respectively.

The new annual award is being supported by the Timagenis Law Firm and will make its debut at the Greek Shipping Awards 2024, presented this year on December 6 at the annual gala dinner held in the Athenaeum InterContinental Hotel.

Timagenis, one of the original supporters of the Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards when they were first launched back in 2004, also sponsored the most recent ‘Deal of the Decade’ Award last year. Timagenis commented: “We are honored to sponsor the inaugural ‘Deal of the Year’ award category. As a firm committed to excellence in maritime law, we are proud to recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements and innovative transactions shaping the future of Greek shipping.”

The awards are adjudicated by a judging panel of leading personalities representing Greek shipping and the wider Greek maritime cluster. The annual Deal of the Year Award will go to the person or company adjudged by the panel to have done the most successful and impressive single transaction in Greek shipping over the preceding year. A series of transactions may be considered by the judges if circumstances warrant. Transactions that have not yet closed may not be considered.

Any kind of business deal within the maritime sector may be nominated, including but not limited to mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, sales and purchases, or the conclusion of a very successful financing or very profitable charterparty. Wherever possible the exceptionality of the deal should be illustrated by identifying the benefits and advantages to the party to the transaction, or its expected benefits.

Nominations are welcomed for the Deal of the Year Award and for all the other categories of award, by the deadline of Friday, October 18.

Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards to celebrate ‘best of the best’ on December 6, 2024

Shipping’s largest awards event, the Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards, is accepting nominations for the 2024 awards as it prepares once again to put the spotlight on some of the industry’s leading individuals and companies.

Established back in 2004, the event annually celebrates the achievements of Greek shipping and the Greek maritime cluster at the traditional end-of-year awards presentation dinner In Athens.

Each year, the Greek Shipping Awards attracts capacity audiences of hundreds of guests and the 21st edition of the awards is expected to be no different.

Strong support for this year’s Awards is led by Event Sponsor NEPTUNE MARITIME LEASING, Champagne Toast Sponsor CMB FINANCIAL LEASING and ALLEGIANT (Shipping) which is sponsoring the Welcome Drinks Reception for guests. A roster of prestigious Greek and international companies have sponsored the individual awards.

Nominations are coming in as the deadline for entries for the 2024 awards nears. Nominations must be received by the organisers before midnight, Greek time, on Friday, October 18 in order to be accepted.

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

The panel, broadly representing the Greek shipping industry, will be tasked with choosing ‘the best of the best’ in a range of categories that span the full gamut of Greece’s shipping industry – from the dry cargo, tanker and passenger line sectors - to achievements in safety, sustainability, technology, shipbroking, finance and more. There will be excitement, too, in learning the judging panel’s choice of winners for prestigious individual awards such as Personality of the Year, Seafarer of the Year, the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Next Generation Award.

This year sees the launch of a new award, the first completely new category added to the event for several years. The ‘Deal of the Year’ Award will focus on outstanding transactions over the previous year. It follows the success of ‘Deal of the Decade’ awards offered twice in the event’s 20-year history, in 2013 and 2023.

All the 2024 award-winners will be unveiled at the 2024 gala awards dinner on Friday, December 6 in Athens. Bookings for the dinner are already open.
