Department. I am impressed by the company’s remarkable
infrastructure, both in terms of physical facilities and digital
systems. I also believe that my department is on the frontline
of change, actively driving the maritime industry’s transition
process. This, combined with the variety of vessels managed, adds
depth to my role and fosters continuous professional growth.

Ioannis Kleinakis,

I joined Minerva Marine after completing my summer internship
in the FD&D Department. Stepping into a new industry can seem
daunting at first. However, the warm reception that I received
from everyone at the company eased the process, and for that, I
am sincerely grateful. In my new role, I feel extremely privileged
and fortunate to be part of a department that employs high-caliber
professionals that I can learn from, and for the fact that it
requires an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach.

My name is Katerina Kontoleon, and as part of my Master of
Science in Shipping at the University of Piraeus, I have recently
joined Minerva's Purchasing Department. Through this four-month

the intricate operations of the shipping industry. I am more
than grateful to be part of a company that values innovation and
teamwork, and I look forward to contributing while learning from
such a dynamic organisation.
