On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, members of the Athens College Shipping Club welcomed and spoke with Mr. Stamatis Tsantanis, Chairman and CEO of Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. and Founder, Chairman and CEO of United Maritime Corporation; Ms. Faye Frangedis, Senior Advisor at Trafigura Maritime Ventures; Mr. Panos Doritis ’04, Senior Associate in the Finance Department of Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp.; and Mr. Alexandros Danousis, DPA / MHSQE Manager at Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp.

The guests talked about Seanergy's commercial activities, structure, and fleet, as well as the career opportunities that the shipping industry offers. They placed particular emphasis on the responsibility of the company’s shore-based departments, which manage its operations, for both the ships and the hundreds of people who work on them. They also spoke about the contribution of shipping companies beyond business, such as the scholarships they offer and their financial support for charities.

Through their questions and comments, the Club's members learned about the goods the company transports and the sea routes it follows, and discussed the need to reduce the environmental footprint of shipping through modern fuel processing systems. It was also pointed out that shipping accounts for a relatively small share of total pollution compared with other forms of freight transport.

After Mr. Tsantanis spoke about his own career and the history of Seanergy, the discussion also turned to how a shipping company is set up and how it goes public.
