Margi Marine: "We are proud of our history and excited about the future"

There is a very large development of the ports of Gibraltar, Algeciras and Ceuta. What do you think is the reason for the growth in their commercial activities and how is your group involved in these very important ports for world trade?

The Strait of Gibraltar has passage for 130,000 ships per year, around 356 ships daily, one every 5 minutes, of which 90,000 are merchant ships. With a supply figure other than petroleum products, which is 180,000 tons in the Algeciras area, making it one of the safest and most reliable straits in the world today. Hence the importance of our supply centre in the Strait area, from which we primarily supply the Greek fleet, either by flag or by management, which is one of the most important fleets in the world. With our partners in Spain and Gibraltar Strait, ''Dino Theo Atlantis M.C.,S.L.'', we provide a more focused service to our fleet, meeting their needs for both supply and consignment services, addressing the details with care, and advocating for service and advice, in our language and with our Greek mentality in the Strait area.

Shipyards in Turkiye are also growing rapidly. What is the cooperation between you and how do you evaluate the level of services provided?

Turkiye is quite active in the shipbuilding industry. With the rise of the industry since the early 1990s, Turkish's shipbuilding industry has gained well-deserved international recognition. Today, the country has more than 70 active shipyards carrying out shipbuilding and maintenance activities for ships and yachts. The main areas of shipyards serving the international shipping industry.

With our partners in Turkiye, ''Arma Intl. Ship Supply'', and considering the country's position between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, the country can be considered as a bridge between important trade sea routes and this makes the shipbuilding and ship repair industry grow day by day. Most of the ship owners and management companies prefer the Turkiye for drydocking operations and repairs due to its location. With this favor, the shipyards in Turkiye are improving their capabilities and service qualities to maintain and increase their success. With this intention, now the shipyards and all the industry in the area are establishing theirselves as a prominent player in the global shipping sector with very competitive prices, quality and very fast services which is most important during a drydocking.

What are the company's objectives in the coming period?

For the time being we are a very strong player in the market with exclusivities in Spain, Gibraltar, Canary Islands, Turkiye, Egypt, India, Baltic Sea, Panama, Brazil and United States of America. Of course we do not stop here and in the very near future, with serious, correct steps and professionalism we will expand more, serving the shipping community as we are doing all these years.
