The Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards is pleased to announce the launch of an exciting new category of award: ‘Deal of the Year.’
The award marks the first new category added to the shipping industry’s favourite annual awards for several years. It follows the success of the ‘Deal of the Decade’ award, offered twice in the event’s 20-year history. These special awards, presented in 2013 and 2023, were won by Angeliki Frangou and Evangelos Marinakis, respectively.
The new annual award is being supported by the Timagenis Law Firm and will make its debut at the Greek Shipping Awards 2024, presented this year on December 6 at the annual gala dinner held in the Athenaeum InterContinental Hotel.
Timagenis, one of the original supporters of the Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards when they were first launched back in 2004, also sponsored the most recent ‘Deal of the Decade’ Award last year.
Timagenis commented: “We are honored to sponsor the inaugural ‘Deal of the Year’ award category. As a firm committed to excellence in maritime law, we are proud to recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements and innovative transactions shaping the future of Greek shipping.”
The awards are adjudicated by a judging panel of leading personalities representing Greek shipping and the wider Greek maritime cluster. The annual Deal of the Year Award will go to the person or company adjudged by the panel to have done the most successful and impressive single transaction in Greek shipping over the preceding year. A series of transactions may be considered by the judges if circumstances warrant. Transactions that have not yet closed may not be considered.
Any kind of business deal within the maritime sector may be nominated, including but not limited to mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, sales and purchases, or the conclusion of a very successful financing or very profitable charterparty. Wherever possible the exceptionality of the deal should be illustrated by identifying the benefits and advantages to the party to the transaction, or its expected benefits.
Nominations are welcomed for the Deal of the Year Award and for all the other categories of award, by the deadline of Friday, October 18. You can nominate online.
