The co-Founder Maria Yiassa, of Seaorama, has won the Startup Manager of the year 2023 award in a beautiful ceremony organized at Megaron, The Athens Concert Hall on Wednesday 13th December 2023!
Maria Yiassa has been part of the Maritime industry for over 25 years. Her passion and vision are to enhance the image of the maritime industry in the eyes of the world by making each person to realize the unmeasurable contribution of shipping in the everyday life. Thus, in 2021 Seaorama IKE was established, together with our other co-Founder Vera Alexandropoulou and has since expanded to various initiatives aimed to shake the way shipping industry is experienced but also to assist in changing the maritime industry in a way that embraces the environment and its contribution to society.
The Shipping Industry impacts every aspect of our lives; however, many people struggle to grasp the significance of shipping and its vital role in our society. This is particularly true for younger generations who will be called to pave the way to several fundamental changes happening on the industry in the following years.
As the world was shaken by COVID epidemic, it became obvious that the best way to approach our vision was to utilise the expanding and impactful world of videogames, hence Seaorama: World of Shipping emerged.
SeaOrama: World of Shipping is a maritime themed video game designed to capture and present the shipping industry in an engaging and educational manner while standing out globally for its unique management and strategy simulation approach inspired by real shipping data.
This captivating game immerses players in the world of shipping companies, enabling them to develop their own managerial style through risk, logistics, finance and operations management while adjusting in macro-economic world challenges. Choose between container ships, bulk carriers, and tankers to create your own fleet, but be aware that various factors in the game may influence the expansion or investment in different types of vessels. By incorporating real shipping data, the game creates its own economy, generating diverse scenarios for players to navigate. From port congestion and piracy to extreme weather events, mechanical failures, and crew accidents, the game encompasses the challenges faced in the shipping industry.
The timing of Maria Yiassa’s award was just perfect as the following day, on the 14th of December 2023 SeaOrama: World of Shipping made a worldwide premiere, in 8 languages, and its appeal has exceeded our expectations!
The Game is available on Steam, Epic and Gog platforms and is also available in Amazon Prime, featured as one of the Prime Gaming bonus games to its members. For a Startup, gaining access to Amazon's Prime can be translated as to having access to more than 162 million Prime members.
