Empowering Knowledge – By the Members, For the Members
WISTA Hellas was delighted to join fellow maritime professionals at the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Hellenic Safety Center for an insightful discussion on the IMO Conventions Update and the MEPC Extraordinary Session Outcome.
The event featured a distinguished all-WISTA Hellas member panel, composed of exceptional professionals who excel in their technical and leadership roles—a true testament to the expertise and talent within our network.
In an industry where technical positions are often male-dominated, it is particularly inspiring to see women leading the conversation with authority and clarity. Our panelists shared their vast knowledge on complex regulatory and environmental topics, breaking them down into clear, practical insights for our diverse membership.
This session was part of our continuing initiative, “By the Members, For the Members,” with the topic chosen through a member-wide poll earlier this year.
A heartfelt thank you to our outstanding panelists:
Marina Christoulaki – Operations Fleet Manager, NAVARONE S.A.
Anna Apostolopoulou – Global Director, Floating Offshore Installations, Lloyd’s Register
Carola Yannouli – General Manager, OCEANKING SA
Dr. Efi Tsolaki, PhD – Chief Scientific Officer, ERMA FIRST
Special thanks to Stamatis Fradelos, Vice President Regulatory Affairs at ABS, for his valuable opening remarks, and to Katerina Elikonida Maroudi, Regulatory Manager at BIMCO, for her expert moderation.
We are deeply grateful to our sponsors and everyone who contributed to the success of this meaningful event. Together, we continue to promote knowledge sharing, professional growth, and equal opportunities across the maritime industry.
