The present and the future of Greece’s shipbuilding industry in the era of LNG as fuel was the focus of a presentation organized by Piraeus Port Authority (PPA) at its premises on Tuesday.
The event was held within the framework of the EU co-funded project Poseidon Med II.
According to the event’s organizers, the main topics for discussion were the questions of whether LNG as a fuel choice can contribute to a revival of Greece’s shipbuilding sector, and whether local shipyards are “LNG ready”.
Discussion also touched on the type of support Poseidon Med II can offer.
Additionally, the establishment of the Revithoussa islet terminal as a LNG hub for the regional supply chain and the Europa Ship Plan — an initiative of the Hellenic Shortsea Shipowners Association — was also presented.
