Hoppe now in Athens

Hoppe Marine has further strengthened its international presence with Hoppe Hellas, a new representation based in Athens, Greece. This new location is managed by Spiros Kalimeris.

Greece and Cyprus together represent the largest shipowning community worldwide, accounting for more than 20 per cent of the global fleet. The region plays a pivotal role in the maritime industry, particularly due to its strong involvement in large-scale newbuilding projects in China and Korea, as well as continuous fleet modernisation and retrofit activities driven by efficiency improvements and evolving environmental regulations.

With Hoppe Hellas, we enhance our proximity to key decision-makers, fleet managers and technical departments within the Eastern Mediterranean market. The new subsidiary will provide direct and responsive support, ranging from advanced measurement and control systems to spare parts supply, service agreements and retrofit solutions aligned with regulatory frameworks such as EEXI, CII and DCS.

Spiros Kalimeris brings extensive experience in marine automation, digitalisation and performance optimisation. Combining technical expertise with commercial insight, he aims to position Hoppe Hellas as a trusted partner for Greek and Cypriot shipowners seeking innovative and reliable solutions that improve vessel efficiency and ensure regulatory compliance.

Hoppe Marine expresses its sincere appreciation to Oceanking for the constructive and loyal cooperation over many years, which significantly contributed to establishing the company’s footprint in the Greek market.

With Hoppe Hellas, Hoppe Marine underlines its long-term commitment to supporting shipowners in one of the most important maritime regions worldwide.
