FOR the first time ever, the Greek Shipping Awards 2020 took place virtually, streaming to a global audience on Lloyd’s List and the official Greek Shipping Awards website.

In going digital due to the prohibition on social gatherings, the aim was to preserve as many of the traditional elements of the annual gathering as possible.
