TradeWinds first heard from Peter Georgiopoulos by way of a phone call from the Oslo airport in 1997.

Georgiopoulos wanted to correct a few details in an article about his Maritime Equity Management (MEM) buying some ships. One of those corrections was the spelling of his name.

Flash forward to 2015. Georgiopoulos is the most famous shipowner in the US and one of the most recognisable in the world.
