Athenian Alafouzos at home with Oslo’s ‘very clear rules’ on listings

Okeanis Eco Tankers (OET) — the only Greek shipping company listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange — feels at home in Norway.

“We’re very happy with Oslo,” Ioannis Alafouzos, chairman and chief executive of the pure-play eco-tanker player, said in a Zoom interview from his Athens office.

Established in April 2018 as a new holding company for tanker assets previously owned by Kyklades Maritime, which is the Alafouzos family’s private firm, OET listed on Oslo’s Merkur Market in July of the same year.
