TSAVLIRIS SALVAGE sponsored for the 12th consecutive year the Lloyd's List Greek Shipping Awards which were presented at a successful dinner event on Friday 2 December 2016 at the Athenaeum InterContinental Hotel in Athens.

The "Seafarer of the Year" Award is one which Tsavliris Salvage Group is honoured and proud to sponsor.

Natalia Tsavliris - Vasilopoulos presented the "Seafarer of the Year" Award to Captain Diamantis Papageorgiou, master of Hellenic Seaways ferry "Nissos Rodos". The master has commanded more than 50 ferries so far in his career and has garnered a reputation as a go-to master for vessels on some of the most difficult routes serving small, poorly equipped ports.

Lloyd's List once again held an impressive event attended by record 1,200 shipping personalities, executives and guests. Nigel Lowry, Greece's Lloyd's List correspondent and director of the Greek Shipping Awards together with Andriana Paraskevopoulou, journalist, were excellent co-hosts of the event and provided great entertainment.

The Awards are held annually to recognise and reward achievement and meritorious activity in the Greek shipping industry as well as to promote Greece's status as a maritime centre. Winners are chosen by an independent panel of judges representing a broad cross-section of the Greek shipping industry.
