Tamer Kıran, Chairman of the Board of Directors, announced at the September assembly meeting of the IMEAK Chamber of Shipping that he become a candidate for the Presidency of the Board of Directors in the elections planned to be held at the end of October or the beginning of November.
Tamer Kıran made a statement at the assembly meeting:
“I have been trying to serve our industry with full dedication for 23 years”
I began my service life at the Chamber of Shipping in 1999 as an Associate Member of the Board of Directors, and continued as the Chairman of the Board of Directors since April 2018, with the favor of the Principal Member of the Board of Directors in the election held in 2005 and finally the esteemed members of our Chamber. I have been trying to serve our industry with full dedication to this chamber for 23 years.
During my Presidency of the Board of Directors, together with my friends who set out with me, walked together, and were always by my side, we tried to carry out our activities by repairing broken hearts, if any, without excluding anyone.
“We pursued together to raise our industry to the level it deserves”
When I look at it this way, I feel justified and proud of having a successful term of office, and of being in your presence today with a brilliant report card. We brought our budget to 360 million TL as of the end of this year, which was 97 million TL in 2018. When we took office, we fully paid our debts to banks and credit institutions. We paid our dues debts to TOBB. Today, we have reduced the debt of our Piri Reis University from approximately 60 million dollars to 16-17 million dollars.
“As a chamber, we have taken it as our duty to meet the demands of high schools, colleges, and faculties serving the Turkish maritime industry within the framework of our budget possibilities”
At the point we have reached, I am proud and pleased to witness that our work is appreciated by our valuable members. As a result, I am announcing in your high presence that I am a candidate for the Chairmanship of the Board of Directors again, taking into account the support of the majority of our members so that I can continue my duty in the upcoming term.
We have more ways to walk together and more goals to grow this sector.
