Introduction:
Peter Georgiopoulos (Georgiopoulos), spotted opportunities in money-spinning contracts
of ferrying crude oil for big companies. He established General Maritime Ship Holdings
(Genmar) in 1997. But he could not get any contract, as he was not an established player. He
needed a track record so he negotiated with Universe Tankships, then a highly regarded
firm, into managing his first ship. He then poached some of Universe’ key executives,
including its chairman, and pitched the firm’s experience to the oil majors. Georgiopoulos
said, “I told them, ‘Basically, I’mUniverse Tankships’.”
