Attica Group’s three new AERO highspeed vessels were voted as “Ships of the Year” at the recently held Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards 2022.

Launched in 2004, the awards honor the biggest achievements in the Greek shipping community with a judging panel of experts representing all sectors of Greek shipping.

Attica Group CEO Spyros Paschalis received the company’s award during a ceremony with an audience of almost 1,000 guests.

The three AERO vessels, which were officially inaugurated last September at the port of Piraeus, were deployed on Hellenic Seaway’s Saronic routes last August contributing further to the economic development of the Saronic islands and their local communities.
