Yiannis Vardinogiannis announced his resignation as chairman of the Board of Hellenic Seaways “out of consideration for the interests of the company and its shareholders,” a Hellenic Seaways announcement said on Friday, 14 June.
“At a time when the company is in negotiations with bank creditors to restructure its debt and is making efforts to overcome the effects of the crisis on Greek shipping, the future of one of the most important Greek Aegean companies cannot be endangered by fantastic scenarios that hide offensive strategies,” Mr. Vardinogiannis said.
He also noted that Hellenic Seaways, “Greece’s largest shipping company,” would remain the largest for everybody involved in its management.
“Its shareholders who believe in the future of the company will see to this,” Mr. Vardinogiannis said.
