“We are proud to be a member of BIMCO for 75 continuous years”, says Costas Dias Economou, CEO of the company, 

With 90 years of experience in the shipping industry, since 1936, Hull Blyth Araouzos Ltd has built a legacy of reliability and expertise.

They offer a diverse range of services and solutions while fostering strong, mutually beneficial partnerships.  

Costas is also proud to be a leader in the Cyprus maritime industry, despite the company losing its premises in Famagusta, Kyrenia and Nicosia Airport during the 1974 conflict which divided the island into Greek and Turkish areas. 

Limassol then became the island's primary port, and Hull Blyth Araouzos Ltd relocated its headquarters there. Despite these challenges, the company has remained at the forefront of the shipping industry, continuously adapting and expanding its services. 

With a legacy built on trust, expertise, and resilience, the company remains committed to delivering exceptional shipping solutions for decades to come. 

Costas’ father John Economou recently retired, and in the picture he can be seen receiving our commemorative plaque to mark the company’s membership milestone.  

“Our success is built on a foundation of expertise, innovation, and unwavering commitment to our collaborators and hence please rest assured of our utmost support of BIMCO values”, John says. 

Congratulations from all of us at BIMCO, and we wish John all the best for your retirement!
