Evangelos Marinakis remains in the 59th position of the annual Lloyd’s List Top 100 Global Shipping List this year.

Indeed, as the acclaimed British shipping newspaper points out, Mr Marinakis’ reputation as one of the most dynamic players in global shipping is expected to be further strengthened, when Capital Maritime & Trading’s mammoth order for 10 LNG Carriers will be completed, which will be delivered between 2020 and 2021 by Hyundai H.I.  in South Korea.

It is noted that Mr. Marinakis is in the top 100 of Lloyd’s List for the tenth consecutive year since 2010.

The same newspaper notes that «The Greek shipowner in recent years has shown a tendency for prudent business risks, with bold orders (new-build ships) as well as investigating (new) chartering for his ships.»

An important reference in Lloyd’s extensive report to the Greek shipowner and businessman is the «landmark» project, as it describes it, of ordering up to 10 new VLCC tankers using liquefied natural gas (LNG) for movement – along with fuel oil.

«Timing is the key to such investments, and so far, the Greek shipowner has shown charisma,» says Lloyd’s List.

It also mentions the charitable actions of the Piraeus shipowner, his involvement with the interests of the Grand Port, and his investments in greek media.

Finally, there is no doubt that Mr. Marinakis is the owner of PAE Olympiakos and the historic Nottingham Forest
