The 24-year history of Meadway Shipping & Trading has seen founder Dionysios “Dennis” Delaportas part company with earlier investors, bring his two sons, George and Costas, into the business, open the first Greek-controlled chartering office in Singapore and, even in today’s challenging markets, look enthusiastically and optimistically at new opportunities.

When Delaportas took the decision to buy his first vessel, a former client of his brokerage came in as an investor.
