Anna Angelicoussis & family

Early Life and Family

Anna Angelicoussis was born in Kardamyla, Chios, into the Angelicoussis maritime family, a prominent name in the Greek shipping industry. Her father, Antoni Angelicoussis, established the foundation of the family's involvement in maritime activities.

Rise to Success

Following her father's passing in 1989, Anna co-managed Anangel Shipping Enterprises with her brother, John Angelicoussis. However, in 2000, they took separate paths, and Anna embarked on building her own business empire. That year, she co-founded Alpha Tankers & Freighters with her then-husband Christos Kanellakis. She is the founder and head of three major maritime firms: Alpha Bulkers, Pantheon Tankers, and Alpha Gas. In 2020, she earned the accolade of Greek Shipping Personality of the Year and was ranked among the “Top 100 Most Influential Shipping Figures” by Lloyd's List. In 2025, Forbes included her in The 50 Richest Self-Made Women on Earth, ranking her at number 42.

Key Business Strategies

Angelicoussis's business strategy focuses on fleet renewal, offloading older vessels and replacing them with modern secondhand or newbuild ships. Her companies operate a combined fleet of 83 oil tankers, liquefied natural gas carriers, and bulk carriers. Alpha Bulkers operates a fleet of 34 bulk carriers. Pantheon Tankers manages the group's crude and product carriers and has expanded its fleet with new Aframaxes.
