Keeping her commitment to an open, honest and systematic dialogue with the new generation, the president of the Union of Greek Shipowners Melina Traulos welcomed 30 merchant marine academy students to the offices of the Union of Greek Shipowners. The president responded to the request of the Naval Chronicles to grant an interview, choosing as her interlocutors, not only journalists, but mainly young men and women students of the naval profession.

A pioneering ambitious program of scholarships for young men and women for studies is promoted by the Union of Greek Shipowners through SYN-ENOSIS, the non-profit, social contribution company of the Greek shipbuilders.

Ms. Melina Travlou, president of the Union of Greek Shipowners (UGS), received in London the prestigious “Global Personality Award” for 2022, of the Seatrade Maritime Awards, an award that particularly honors Greek shipping as a whole.
