GOURDOMICHALIS & CO. (CHARTERING), LTD

Gourdomichalis Maritime is a third generation traditional ship-management company founded in 1969 by Stathis Gourdomichalis, a prominent shipowner and businessman who served as President of the Union of Greek Shipowners between 1984 and 1991.

Over the years the company has managed a fleet of up to 15 vessels, including tankers and bulk carriers up to 100,000 dwt. Today the focus is on young dry-bulk tonnage, with a significant new-building program having been successfully implemented over the last 15 years.

The fleet profile includes Supramax and Panamax size vessels, trading globally on the spot and time charter markets, currently comprising a total of 260,000 dwt after tonnage was shed in the previous cycle. Fleet expansion is currently under way.

The fleet's chartering requirements are met through Gourdomichalis & Co (Chartering) Limited, a London based company, and member of the Baltic Exchange, for over 50 years.
