European Union Maritime Policy & its Effect on the European and Global Merchant Fleet

Shipping is a global industry and thus subject to regulations from global regulatory organizations. At the same time, the European union is pursuing its own policies. The EU controls about 40% of the global tonnage with the Greek owned fleet accounting for more than half of this. EU policies should ensure the competitiveness of EU shipping compared to other clusters while harmonizing with those of the global organizations, thereby providing the industry with a unified and flexible regulatory context.

Positioning Greece As a Maritime, Transportation & Logistics Hub

Greece’s central location in the Eastern Mediterranean provides a competitive intermodal corridor for the European seaborne trade with Asia. The Greek ports and other major transportation infrastructure facilities and logistics operations in Greece have attracted significant investments by important international organizations thereby positioning Greece as the southeastern logistics gateway to Europe.

Fleet Renewal – Building the Ships of the Future

Shipowners are called today to make fleet renewal or expansion decisions while there is no clarity or certainly on optimal fuel and engine types and vessel designs for the ships of the future. Furthermore, increased competition among shipyards offering attractive packages adds to the newbuilding dilemma. This panel will discuss alternative strategies considered by Greek shipowners who are known for embracing technological innovation. The Greek owned fleet is today among the youngest in the world with an average age well below that of the global fleet.

Geopolitics, World Trade and Shipping

Access to global markets is key for shipping in fulfilling its vital role as the artery of global trade. Over 90% of global trade is transported by ships. Geopolitics, tariffs, trade wars, sanctions and increased protectionism have a direct impact on global trade and thus on shipping. This panel will discuss mechanisms to safeguard access to global markets working through industry and international organizations.
