Completing his second term as President of Master’s and Mates Union of Greek Merchant Marine (Of Every Rank), Capt. Giorgos Vlahos speaks at maritimes TV, saying that this position was the highest honor for him. He points out that “The Union originates and belongs to fellow captain Of Every Rank. This is clear and it is our belief…” 

He invites all fellow- masters to come and support the Union, stressing that no one can achieve things alone, while the moral and professional obligation of everyone is to belong to an entity widely.

He refers to the timeless support that Greek sailor provides the country and the presuppositions for a successful career.

“Rule number one, in order for a young man to achieve things as sailor: he should love the job, but it is essential that he start from the right basis, which is the quality of training.”

“They try to leave the Academies without sailors, more than half of Academies have no captain director…”
