Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis continues to be recognised for his business work.
Maritime specialists Lloyd’s List have included the Greek in their power ranking of the world’s 100 most influential people in the global shipping industry for 2019.
Just as a year ago, Marinakis is in 59th position in the Top 100 Global Shipping List - and it is the 10th consecutive year he has made the cut.
The Reds chief is said to be “firmly established as one of the most dynamic players in shipping worldwide”.
Lloyd’s List add: “The past few years have shown his penchant for calculated risks with speculative orders and later exploring charters for the vessels.
“Timing is key in such investments and, so far, the Greek owner has shown a gift for it.”
And they say: “Outside shipping, the owner is known for his active involvement with Piraeus City Council, owning one of Greece’s largest media empires and his football interests, as owner of Greek champions Olympiacos and historic English club Nottingham Forest, acquired in 2017.”
It is said Marinakis’ reputation in the shipping industry will be strengthened further if “a landmark project for up to 10 very large crude carriers fuelled by liquefied natural gas becomes a firm contract”.
