Almi Tankers’ Crew Manager Capt. Ioannis Stampoulidis and HR Officer Elpiniki Stylogianni visited Manila in December and met crew members and their families. 

Together they attended a Christmas Party during which Almi Tankers crew members, along with their families and children, got the chance to dress festively, sing, dance, play games and enjoy a wonderful dinner.
The party was fun for everyone and it was nice for our Head Office representatives to have met our seamen along with their families to celebrate Christmas together.
A big thank you to the Michaelmar Phils. Inc. team for helping organise the event and making it such a great success. We are already looking forward to meeting everyone at next year’s event!
