During Posidonia 2022 The Maritime Podcast had the pleasure sitting down with prominent Greek shipowner Harry Vafias to talk about the country’s shipping industry and what lies ahead.

Harry is perhaps best known as CEO of US-listed gas shipping company Stealthgas, but his shipping interests also include, recently US-listed Imperial Petroleum, tanker company Stealth Maritime, and dry bulk shipping company Brave Maritime.

Speaking with Marcus Hand, Editor of Seatrade Maritime News, and Emma Howell, Director of Media for Seatrade Maritime, the conversation explores how the industry has changed in recent years and the impact of the need to decarbonise shipping operations.

Harry explains the viewpoint of Greek owners on near term measures to reduce emissions and his own views on investing in vessels powered by alternative fuels.

The episode then delves into the secrets behind the success of Greek shipowners as a dominant force in the global industry. Want to know more? Listen to the episode now.
