Nikos Nikiforos and Christina Karalaki decided to transform Greek owner Oceanbulk Maritime from their employer into their first client account. In February, the duo officially quit the busy chartering desk of Oceanbulk and announced the formation of Ariston Commercial Services.
Describing what the company does is not exactly straightforward.
Nikiforos says it is not a broker nor a chartering operation but sets up project-based dry-cargo joint ventures between charterers and owners in which it also participates.
