The Greek owned fleet is the largest in the world as it was recently restated in the “Posidonia international Maritime congress” (www.posidonia-events.com) a festivity around maritime affairs that is being organized every year in Athens since the mid-60’s. The Greeks hold today 16% of world’s tonnage which is by far the largest international merchant fleet the world has ever witnessed.
