We want to transfer Houston’s know-how on oil and natural gas extraction to Greece: George Margetis, Managing Director, Margetis maritime consulting

After 13 years of a successful course and growth in Piraeus, Margetis maritime consulting moved to new offices on Akti Miaouli 67 overlooking the port, last summer.

During the inauguration a few days ago, Mr. George Margetis, CEO, and his close associates spoke to maritimes.gr about their plans for the future.

“The new offices reflect the extroversion I want to give to the company. It’s a landmark, ”Mr Margetis said, explaining that among the company’s goals is the transfer of know-how in the extraction of oil and natural gas from Houston to Greece.

A key role in thiw effort is played by Antonis Panagiotareas, Senior Surveyor-President Manager, who for three years has been offering one-stop solutions to Greek-owned shipping surveys in Houston.

“We started with shipping, but we also expanded into the energy sector,” said Mr. Panagiotareas, explaining that in Texas the know-how is decades ahead.

“We have this know-how and we can help the Greek government develop our country’s reserves. At the same time, we are also trying to bring investments from the US to repair drillships in Greece, ”he added.

“Houston is the Mecca of oil sector technology. All the best regarding offshore oil and natural gas drilling is there, “Mr Margetis said.

“Oil will not leave us at least for the next 30 years. Until the change is made, we will rely on oil and of course natural gas is coming strong and renewable energy sources are on the rise. Companies have to adapt to meet customer needs, ”said Tasos Garis, London Liaision Representative.
