Special report: Greece & Cyprus 2021
Greece and Cyprus have much in common and, in a maritime context, the two nations largely see eye to eye. Both are bastions of European shipping, with a global perspective on the industry. That is highlighted in this special report, which focuses on the extraordinary spread of trading by the Greek-owned fleet, using data from Lloyd’s List Intelligence, and on the refreshingly outward-facing agenda of Cyprus Shipping Deputy Minister Vassilios Demetriades. We also look back 200 years ago to the outbreak of the war of independence that secured Greece’s freedom, paving the way for the country’s emergence as the world’s biggest shipowning nation.
