History

Maurice R. Hamburger was born in Smyrna, Asia Minor, and studied shipping studies in Alexandria, Egypt.

In 1930, the Asia Minor pogrom, which took place in 1922, forced the Hamburger family to permanently move to Greece. Driven by vision, strong beliefs, and restless spirit, Maurice R. Hamburger set out his business plans in the city of Piraeus, where he lived and worked to the end of his days.

In 1950, he founds the shipping agency «PROODOS» undertaking chartering and shipping agencies.

In 1965, the company is renamed to «MARAVRA Shipping Agencies LTD» and establishes itself in shipping and transport services, representing a number of companies with regular routes, such as MARSEILLE-FRET, VANUDEN ROTTERDAM and VAN NIEVELT GOUDRIAAN. After completing a 22-year successful business career, Maurice Hamburger passed away during a business trip in Marseille, France, in 1972.

1972 In the memory of its founder, «MARAVRA Shipping Agencies LTD» is renamed to Μ. Hamburger Successors LTD. The second generation takes on and the company’s successors Takis Vassilopoulos and Avra Hamburger-Vassilopoulou expand the agency’s activities by incorporating shipping forwarding and chartering services.

1985 The company’s services expand internationally taking on sea, land and air transports.At the same time, the network of associates and correspondents is also developed worldwide.

2000 Standing on the ground of a 50-year tradition, the third generation comes forth to couple the expertise past on from generation to generation with the demands of the new millennium era. Dimitris and Annie Vassilopoulou take a strong hand in the firm and lead Maurice’s vision from the 20th to the 21st century.
