History

One of the most reliable and well established International Shipbroking Houses, GOLDEN DESTINY provides personalised and value added services to its worldwide clients and correspondents.

GOLDEN DESTINY was founded in 1994 as an independent Shipbroking entity by Michail D. Kokkinis, a well known shipbroker with a global reputation, former President of the Hellenic Shipbrokers Association, and, since 1993 Honorary Consul of Poland.
