Capital Group receives "Tanker Company of the Year" award at the Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards 2024.

Piraeus, December 23, 2024. Capital Group was honored with the "Tanker Company of the Year" award at the Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards 2024. This recognition acknowledged the company’s role in shaping the maritime industry's energy transition through groundbreaking initiatives.

 According to Lloyd’s List: “Capital Group has gone beyond any other tanker and gas carrier owner in Greece in its ambitious investment in the energy transition. It has invested not only in dual-fuel Ammonia vessels and dual-fuel LNG vessels but also large LCO2 carriers, a world first. The group’s recently rebranded public arm, Capital Clean Energy Carriers, has 12 latest generation LNG carriers in the water, six more on order, eight midsize gas carriers, and four handysize multi-gas ships able to carry clean ammonia and liquid CO2. The shipowner’s commitment to modern ships and ability to find profitable sale and purchase deals advancing the group’s strategy are exceptional and are also evident in its oil tanker fleet with 14 new LNG dual-fuel VLCCs, suezmaxes, and long-range product tankers on the way. Capital was one of five founding shipowner members of LR’s new Maritime Emissions Reduction Centre in Athens, established in 2024”.

 Accepting the award, Mr. Evangelos Marinakis, Chairman and Founder of Capital Maritime & Trading, noted: “Greece provides us with a safe haven to conduct our business, and on the other hand, we are involved with a global business that has nothing to do with the government with all the complications our country sometimes faces. We are free to compete in the real world with huge international shipping companies, and try to be competitive and create value for our partners, for our companies, for our people.”

 “To be successful in our business, you need to have the right people, so it has to do with togetherness, it has to do with the ability and the skills of our crew members, of our staff ashore, of the organizations we do business with, our partners—like classification societies, our bankers, our brokers, our charterers, the oil majors.”

 The first time we received this award was in 2009. This second award is a proof that our desire and energy to innovate and be exceptional at what we do remains as strong as ever.
