In its 2021–2022 annual report, the Union of Greek Shipowners records that total capacity of the Greek-owned fleet has increased 45% since 2014. Greek shipowners control 31% of the world capacity in oil tankers, 25% of the world bulk dry cargo fleet, 22% of the global LNG fleet, 15% of the global fleet transporting chemicals and petroleum products, 13% of the global LPG fleet and 9% of the global container fleet. The $156bn value Greek fleet represents 20% of global and 59% of European capacity. It represents a multi-billion-dollar opportunity for the whole spectrum of marine services, equipment and technology, with oil tankers and LNG and LPG carriers under construction, along with dry bulk carriers and container ships. Greek shipowners are constantly investing in new, energy efficient ships and environmentally friendly equipment. The average age of the Greek-owned fleet (9.99 years) is lower than the world average (10.28 years).
Posidonia takes its exhibitors to the heart of this community, giving them unmatched access to owners and managers keen to engage with suppliers and service companies for their shipping operations and fleet renewal. Technical and operations executives from all over the world will also be keen to engage with exhibitors – not only to discuss solutions but to make decisions. Posidonia is known for the business done in its exhibition halls. No other shipping event is attended by as many Greek and international shipowners and shipping executives.
