Venizelos SA
Shipping company in Athens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Venezelos SA was a shipping company established in Athens in the 1960s. The company was managed by Nikitas Venizelos who became a prominent Greek politician.[1] By 1965, the company had a mixed fleet of 11 cargo ships and oil tankers.[1]
In 1966, they were owners of MV Joanna V, an oil tanker which attempted to break the blockade established to enforce UN sanctions against Rhodesia. On 7 February, they chartered the ship, then called MV Arietta Venizelos, to Yiorgos Vardinogiannis.[2]
