MINERVA IN FOCUS Our people

Katerina Chalyvopoulou
Administrative Assistant

I’m excited to be part of the Minerva family and
its Athina Training Center. Coming from an education
background, I am impressed by Minerva’s initiative to
establish its own maritime training center, assist-
ing seafarers in developing their skills and critical
thinking.
I have quickly gained insight into the global nature
of shipping and the challenges seafarers face, work-
ing far from their families. It is interesting to
see young cadets and experienced officers exchanging
views and having productive discussions. I have also
come to appreciate the vital role of quality train-
ing, skilled instructors, and realistic facilities
that simulate life at sea.
So far, my experience has been both challenging and
rewarding. I appreciate the supportive environment
and the opportunity to connect and collaborate with
motivated colleagues.

Michail Georgoulakos,

I’m thrilled to join the Technical Department of Min-
erva Dry Inc. as an Electrical & Electronic Superinten-

fore joining Minerva, I worked as an Electrical Super-

Engineering, an MSc in Automation Technology in Ship-
ping and Transportation, and I’m certified as an Elec-
tro-Technical Officer (ETO).

Argyro Katsimari,
Energy & Environmental Assistant

I’m happy to share that I’ve joined Minerva Marine
as an Energy & Environmental Assistant in the Energy
& Environmental Department, as of February.
I recently graduated from the University of Piraeus with
a degree in Maritime Studies, and I’m excited to begin
this new chapter in my career. Last summer, I had the
opportunity carry out an internship in Minerva’s
Purchasing Department, where I gained valuable experience
and developed a strong connection with the team.
I’m enthusiastic about this new role and eager to grow
within the company. Thank you for the warm welcome!
