The election of the IMEAK Chamber of Shipping (DTO) Central Professional Committees and Assembly Members was held on Saturday, October 15, 2022, at the Piri Reis University Maritime Campus in Tuzla.
The blue list won the election
In the election, in which 1945 votes were considered valid, the Blue List of Tamer Kıran, Chairman of the Board of Directors of IMEAK DTO, won the election with 1800 votes. While the orange list received 126 votes, the white list received 19 votes. Making a speech after the election results were announced, Tamer Kıran said, “With an extraordinary result, we have been appointed to continue our service for 4 more years with the trust shown to us by our members. Our members told us ‘Continue to work for another 4 years.’”
Continue for 4 more years
Reminding that this election was much shorter than the previous election period and that they had to make an 8-month campaign period with the effect of postponements and extensions in the previous period, Tamer Kıran said, “This year we finished this process in 1.5 months. Actually, this did not end in 1.5 months. Because we have been working for 4.5 years and with what we have done, these members told us to ‘continue to work for another 4 years’. Our members appreciated our work and deemed us worthy of this task again.”
Stating that they are in Tuzla, the most important work of the room, the apple of his eye, at Piri Reis University, Tamer Kıran said:
“Many of our members came here from İskenderun, Rize, Samsun, Van, Antalya, Trabzon, and Bodrum outside of İstanbul. They came to show their trust in us and they honored us. I thank them all. Thank you to everyone who voted for us. We want to continue our mission in the coming period, including everyone. Congratulations to my teammates. Our members didn’t just choose me, they chose us as a team. Together we will continue to serve this sector for 4 more years. I hope we can achieve this together. Thank you all, be present.”
