About us

The above three principles are every bit as important to Fairdeal today as they were when the company was founded by Captain Michael Sarros, a master mariner, over 40 years ago. Fundamental to our founder’s vision was the protection of the marine environment for future generations. This remains a moral obligation for us. Inaugurated in 1978 in Piraeus, Greece, Fairdeal was one of the very first shipping firms dedicated to environmental protection. We were pioneers in the development of floating slop reception facilities according to Marpol1973/78. We introduced such facilities first in Greece and, since 1985, in the UAE, and are currently a leader in highly-advanced deslopping facilities. Care for the marine environment has always been at the heart of Fairdeal’s strategy. Under a second-generation management and with our long experience, we have taken this commitment a step further.
