A senior member of one of Greece’s best-known shipping families, with a career spanning several decades on three continents, died on Sunday.
Spyros M Polemis, principal of London-based Seacrest Shipping, died on 21 July, according to a statement by the Andros Yacht Club, of which he was a founding member and the honorary president.
“A person easy to work with, of few words but prolific in action and intellectually curious, he never buckled under the storms of life and fought to the end,” the club said.
