Cockett Marine Oil invited a select group of Turkish and Turkey-Linked Shipowners for dinner @ Del Mare.

Shipowners and Senior Management attended from Atlantis Tankers, Genel Denizcilik, Gungen Denizcilik and YASA Holding.

The evening was a spectacular success. We like to express our utmost gratitude to the hosts Cem, Burcu and Ilker (Illy) for bringing this powerful community together.

No one expected the night to be so entertaining, uniting and long-lasting. 

Omer Gungen (the older brother of Selim) also stopped by for a chat.

Another heartwarming surprise was that at the table next to us a strong elderly man and his wife got up and came over to our table. Ismet Uner (Owner, Founder, and President of GEMAK Group of Companies) and his wife joined our informal gathering.

The shipping world is a small community. Tonight was a stellar example of how much community and family matters.

We thank you all for such a rewarding evening!
