Former INTERCARGO Chairman, Dr Spyros M Polemis, passes away

Former INTERCARGO Chairman, Dr Spyros M Polemis, passes away

(Posted on 24/07/24)

INTERCARGO, the association of dry bulk shipping companies, has released the following statement:

“It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of our former Chairman Dr Spyros M Polemis, on 21 June.

Dr Polemis was born in Andros in 1937, studied in the USA, and until recently was a very influential representative of the global shipping community in Athens, London and New York, always committed to participate diligently in multiple international fora. He served as our Chairman from 1994 to 1996, having fulfilled the role of Vice-Chairman from 1990 to 1994.

Dr Polemis was instrumental in consolidating INTERCARGO’s presence in the shipping industry, during the 1980's and 1990's, by which time INTERCARGO achieved accredited NGO status at the IMO.

We send our deepest condolences to his family.”

INTERCARGO unites and promotes quality dry bulk shipping, bringing together 250 forward thinking companies from 30 countries. INTERCARGO convened for the first time in 1980 in London and has been participating with consultative status at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) since 1993.
