Our History

Resolute was founded in 2012 by Alex Scaramangas and complemented shortly after by Nikos Pappas, two naval architects and veterans in ship-repair yard marketing and sales. Their combined experience in this field spans more than seven decades.

From the outset, our mission has been clear-cut and straightforward: to offer first-class international principals a trusted and reliable platform to serve the Greek maritime community to a high standard. Today, our mission remains as relevantas ever and therefore remains unchanged.

The younger generation of the company is represented by Andreas Scaramangas and Dimitris Svoronos, who are responsible for business development. In addition to learning the ropes from the team elders, they are focused on developing our technology infrastructure and service capability, as well as researching the market for new opportunities.

They are both intent on paying homage to the legacy created by Alex and Nikos, upholding the reputation they have earned, and living up to the expectations that the market has of the Resolute name.

Our Mission

To provide unparalleled service and create exceptional value for our Clients in every interaction, by partnering withfirst-class Principals.

Our Vision

To become Greece's leading provider of repair and technical services by expanding our offerings to meet market needs, while steadfastly upholding our core principles.
