Almi Tankers S.A. has officially earned the “Best Workplaces 2026” certification in the category of 251-1000 employees. The Best Workplaces™ Hellas 2026 list, recognising companies with exceptional work environments in Greece, was featured in a special edition by Greek newspaper Kathimerini ‘Η ΚΑΘΗΜΕΡΙΝΗ’ on Sunday, May 3, 2026. Almi Tankers ‘Head Office’ and Almi Tankers ‘On Board’ are officially ‘Great Place to Work Certified’ since 2025. Almi Tankers remains the first shipping company in Greece and the only one in 2026 as well as 2025 to have obtained this certification for its seafarers ‘On Board’.

This isn’t just a badge; it represents our commitment to maintaining a supportive, inclusive, and engaging environment at our Head Office but also on every vessel of our fleet operating worldwide. It represents our invitation to all of our team members, ashore and aboard, to participate in the survey and share their feedback.

Our CEO, Captain Stylianos Dimouleas commented: “This certification is a direct reflection of your dedication, your daily hard work, your personal commitment to operational integrity and the incredible culture we are building together. Thank you for making Almi Tankers a wonderful place to work on board and ashore!”

Congratulations to the team!

Once again, for the second year in a row, Almi Tankers ‘Head Office’ and Almi Tankers ‘On Board’ are officially ‘Great Place to Work Certified’. Almi Tankers remains the first shipping company in Greece and the only one in 2026 as well as 2025 to have obtained this certification for its seafarers ‘On Board’.

The Great Place to Work Certification is an official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. 

‘We are proud to have nurtured a culture of transparent communication where people both at the Head Office and On Board feel safe and encouraged to share, receive and act on constructive feedback. We value what our people share, and their insights contribute to fostering our Company’s culture of trusting, caring and investing in people. We cultivate a feedback culture on board and at the Head Office as we believe that people feel more engaged and connected, amplifying agility, innovation and high performance.

Congratulations to our people, every team member on board our vessels and at the Head Office, for this achievement!’ shared the CEO, Captain Stylianos Dimouleas. 

A 4-day programme, collaboratively designed and developed with the university based on the Oxford approach to Scenario Planning, was delivered from November 17 to 20, to 34 team members across all levels of the organisation.

The team worked on three live cases addressing major, known and unknown plausible futures and challenges.

Our CEO, Captain Stylianos Dimouleas commented: “Almi Tankers operates in a TUNA (Turbulent, Uncertain, Novel, Ambiguous) global environment, during a period of profound and accelerating transformation. The maritime sector is being reshaped by the global push toward decarbonisation, rapid technological innovation, changing workforce expectations and geopolitical fragmentation. These forces are not isolated, they interact in ways that create both new risks and new strategic opportunities. The programme assisted in creating real scenarios on how to cope with plausible futures and remain competitive, compliant and resilient through intertwined pressures of making the green transition, workforce transformation, and geopolitical tensions and uncertainties toward 2050. We were truly privileged to work with two extraordinary Professors, Dr. Cynthia Selin and Dr. Cho Khong, who made that possible. We wholeheartedly thank them for this unique experience as well as Rob Walters and Said Business School.”

This training follows on from the tailor-made programme on ‘High Performance Leadership’, again delivered by SAID Business School, in-house at Almi Tankers. The programme had a significant impact on Almi Tankers, both in transforming the leadership culture and contributing to business and operational successes. The Almi Tankers High Performance Leadership Programme is live on Oxford Said Business School’s website as a custom executive education case study: https://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/programmes/executive-education/bespoke-business-solutions/customised-business-solutions/case-studies-and-insights/almi-tankers-leadership-programme

We are very happy and proud to inform you that both Almi Tankers ‘Head Office’ and Almi Tankers ‘On Board’ are officially ‘Great Place to Work Certified’. Almi Tankers is the first shipping company in Greece to obtain this certification for its seafarers ‘On Board’.

The Great Place to Work Certification is an official recognition earned by the real-time feedback of employees regarding their company culture. Investing in our people is investing in our future. By fostering a culture of continuous learning, we empower our employees to achieve their full potential and drive innovation.

Captain Stylianos Dimouleas commented: ‘We would like to thank our team members for their participation! We are honored and grateful that approximately 500 people, which account for over 70% on board and over 90% ashore, worldwide, felt engaged to participate. This certification is based entirely on what you said about your experience working at Almi Tankers!’

Over 90% said that they are proud to tell others they work at Almi Tankers S.A.; that they felt welcome when they joined the company, that there is training/development offered to further themselves personally and professionally and that they feel the environment is safe, inclusive, does not discriminate and people are treated fairly, among other statements.

Congratulations to the team!

The Nautical Institute once again thanked Almi Tankers for its continued participation in the international and confidential Mariners’ Alerting and Reporting Scheme (MARS).

MARS is a free searchable database containing reports of accidents and near misses stretching back over a quarter of a century. Funded through the support of the Institute’s Nautical Affiliate partners, it is one of the maritime industry’s leading risk reduction initiatives and is helping to make life safer for seafarers everywhere.

As a free service to the industry, MARS reports also regularly comprise alerts condensed from official industry sources, so that issues resulting from recent incidents can be efficiently relayed to the mariner on board. With access to the internet from vessels becoming more affordable, the MARS database is a valuable risk assessment, work planning, loss prevention tool and training aid for crew and management.
