The Greek Shipping Hall of Fame is pleased to announce details of its next major event which will take place in Athens on the evening of Monday 6 April 2020 at Megaron – the Athens Concert Hall.
The Greek Shipping Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony & Dinner 2020 will celebrate Greek shipping and pay tribute to historic personalities who have helped to shape the industry.
This prestigious gala dinner event will include an exciting programme of content, including the unveiling of the latest Inductees to the Greek Shipping Hall of Fame. The 2019 Inductees will join 30 ‘Greats’ already inducted into the Greek Shipping Hall of Fame.
The Greek Shipping Hall of Fame is pleased to continue its support of Hellenic Hope and a portion of the event proceeds will be donated to this children’s charity, focused on helping children in Greece at risk from the crisis.
We are extremely grateful for the support of a number of leading organisations and companies that are already confirmed as sponsors of the 2020 Induction Ceremony, including ABS, IRI – The Marshall Islands Registry and Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co. as Co-Lead Sponsors of the event.
Christopher J. Wiernicki, ABS Chairman, President and CEO comments: “ABS’s relationship with the Greek shipping community is based on a deep understanding of the need for safety and a drive for innovation. The achievements of its leaders and personalities continue to be rightly recognised by the Greek Shipping Hall of Fame and ABS salutes all the inductees.”

“International Registries, Inc. (IRI) and the Marshall Islands Registry are proud to support the Greek Shipping Hall of Fame for a third year. The Induction Ceremony and Dinner provides a perfect occasion to celebrate the world-leading Greek shipping community and to remember great shipping personalities who have inspired today’s modern, quality Greek-controlled fleet.”
Wang Qi, Chairman of Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, comments:
