Diana Shipping Inc.
A global dry bulk shipping company based in Athens, Diana Shipping owns and charters a large fleet of vessels that haul cargoes like iron ore, coal, grain, fertilizers, and cement across the world's oceans. Its roots trace to 1972, when Simeon Palios founded Diana Shipping Agencies to manage dry cargo and refrigerated ships, with the current company incorporated in 1999 and listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The name honors the Roman goddess Diana, a nod long popular among merchant vessels for its ties to strength and the sea.
