Greek Shipping Cooperation Committee

Posidonia, the biennial shipping fair to be held this summer on June 3-7, remains steadily committed to attracting younger generations to the shipping industry, as is evident in the launch of the Posidonia Masterclass in Shipping online course.

Shipping companies are still waiting for "real green" fuel solutions as part of decarbonization efforts to clean up the industry, a leading industry official said.

Shipping, which transports around 90% of world trade and accounts for nearly 3% of the world's CO2 emissions, is under growing pressure from environmentalists to deliver more concrete action, including a carbon levy.

Greek-interest merchant shipping fleet totaled 4,092 vessels in February 23, 2016, recording an increase of 35 vessels compared with the same period last year, the Greek Shipping Cooperation Committee said in a report.

The London-based Committee said that the data included 347 vessels currently ordered in international shipyards.
