ONEX Shipyards & Technologies Group

Greek shipbuilding is in a phase of ambitious expansion thanks to significant investments, but requires a regulatory framework from Athens and Brussels that will shield it from unfair competition from Asian shipyards, local shipbuilding company chiefs told a conference last week.

An agreement between ONEX Shipyards & Technologies Group and Algerie Ferries was signed in the presence of Development Minister Kostas Skrekas and Algerian Ambassador to Greece Mahieddine Djeffal. The agreement concerns maintenance work on one ship and the complete renovation of another at the Elefsis Shipyards.
