The Greek Shipping Hall of Fame has announced that this year’s annual Induction Ceremony will take place as an outdoor dinner event on the evening of Wednesday 5 July 2023 at Megaron, The Athens Concert Hall.
The Induction Ceremony & Dinner 2023 will celebrate the industry’s leadership, history, and culture during a unique evening which is recognised as Greek shipping’s most prestigious annual dinner event.
The Greek Shipping Hall of Fame is an independent, not-for-profit organisation, dedicated to the dynamic Greek shipping industry and individuals who have helped to shape it. It began in 2007 as an idea and today it includes 28 personalities who have made their mark on Greek and world shipping.
