In June 2026, Almi Tankers hosted a Summer Camp for Athens College Shipping Club students aged 14-16, a ten-day internship programme at its Head Office for first year high school and third-year junior high school students. Seventeen student members of Athens College’s Shipping Club had the opportunity to engage with the company’s executives and gain first-hand insight into how a shipping company manages its personnel, vessels, cargo operations, and the overall logistics and supply chain as well as the Economics and Strategy behind shipping investment decisions. Each Department delivered a presentation to the students explaining what their role and contribution is to the company. The programme was curated and delivered by Mr. Michael Fostiropoulos.

It concluded with a series of final presentations, during which the participants, divided into four teams, presented their own shipping industry investment proposal. All four presentations received highly positive feedback. The proposals were evaluated by a panel of Almi Tankers executives, and the team receiving the highest score was awarded the “Markos Kynigos Award – 1st Business Investment Exploration Workshop”, established in memory of Markos Kynigos, Founding Director of Psychico College. Parents of the participating students were invited to attend the final presentations, alongside Almi Tankers executives and representatives of Athens College.

During Posidonia 2026, a small ceremony was held at the DNV stand for the presentation of the award given by DNV to Almi Tankers S.A.

DNV went on to acknowledge that: “In an increasingly complex and highly regulated maritime landscape, consistent operational performance is a defining indicator of robust technical management and a strong safety culture.

The award was received by Mr. Michael Fostiropoulos, Principal, and Captain Stylianos Dimouleas, CEO of Almi Tankers.

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
