From September 26–28, 2023, the 97th Annual Convention and Conference as well as the Elections of the International Propeller Club were held in Charleston, South Carolina, USA, with the participation of 75 Propeller Clubs and delegates from the U.S. and international shipping industries.
During the Elections that took place on Thursday, September 28, Costis Frangoulis, the President of the Propeller Club of Piraeus, was elected 1st Vice President, while Governor Dorothea Ioannou was elected 2nd Vice President.
Having served two successful terms as 3rd and 2nd Vice President from 2021-2022 and 2022-2023, respectively, Costis Frangoulis is now the next favorite for the Presidency in September 2025. This would make him the first non-American President and, of course, the first Greek in the centennial history of the International Propeller organization.
The Greek distinctions, however, did not end there. Daniel Tadros and Stas Margaronis were elected at Large Directors, while Michalis Dalacouras is serving his second term as Regional Vice President, responsible for Southern Europe and Africa.
This large representation highlights the leading position held by Greece and our Club, in the global network of the International Propeller.
The new Board of IPCUS is now formed as follows:
