Greece's dominant position in global shipping
Published
Greece confirms once again its leading role in the shipping sector, holding one of the most important positions worldwide. According to recent statements by the Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, Vassilis Kikilias, our country plays a decisive role in international maritime transport.
As Mr. Kikilias pointed out, Greece and Japan jointly control 32% of the global merchant fleet. This impressive percentage highlights the power of the two countries in the industry, as a very large portion of the products transported across the planet is moved via ships of Greek and Japanese interests.
Shipping has traditionally been one of the strongest pillars of the Greek economy. The country's ability to maintain such a large fleet offers significant advantages, strengthening Greece's international presence and its influence on global trade developments.
Cooperation and comparison with countries like Japan underscore the high level of Greek shipping services. Maintaining this top position remains a strategic goal for Greece, as shipping continues to be essential for the global supply chain and economic growth.
