George Prokopiou is one of the most prominent and internationally recognized Greek shipowners. Active in the shipping industry since 1971, he founded Sea Traders in 1974, followed by Dynacom Tankers in 1991 and Dynagas in 2004, specializing in liquefied natural gas (LNG) transportation. In 2013, Dynagas LNG Partners was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

His group of companies manages one of the largest Greek-owned fleets, including tankers, bulk carriers, and LNG carriers, with a strong presence in shipyards in China, South Korea, and Japan. In 2012, the OB RIVER, an LNG carrier operated by Dynagas, became the first of its kind to cross the Northern Sea Route through the Arctic Circle.

Beyond shipping, he has expanded his activities into real estate, with significant portfolios in both Greece and abroad.

In 2021, he acquired the Skaramangas Shipyards, further strengthening his position in the broader shipping and shipbuilding sector.

His contribution to global shipping has been widely acknowledged, with his name consistently included in the Lloyd’s List of the top 100 most influential figures in the industry.
