George Mouskas was born in London in 1953. After completing his schooling he went on to study for a Law degree at university. Upon graduating in 1976 he joined the family shipping company, Zela Shipping, and ran it together with his brother Zenon until September 2014. A decision was taken at that time to transfer both the London office and Athens office to Cyprus.
All shipping activity was transferred to Limassol under a new management company called Olympia Ocean Carriers. The new management company now controls 7 capesize vessels, four kamsarmax and 9 new building ultra max vessels.
OOC now employs 25 staff at its headquarters in Limassol.
In 2009 he was elected President of the Cyprus Union of Shipowners, a position he held until 2016. He continues to serve on the board in the role of Vice President until the present time.
