The Greek case provides a unique paradigm of maritime transport and is among those worthy of a closer examination. Surprisingly, a systematic review of its various facets of Greek maritime transport has been unavailable in the international literature aiming to fill some of the gaps in the international literature of maritime transport studies as regards this unique paradigm. This volume provides an analysis of the ways that the Greek paradigm of maritime transport developed and continues to evolve and adjust. The extensive range of topics covered includes shipping ownership, management and organization, shipping finance, supply chains approaches of shipping, employment at sea, coastal shipping, maritime transport and intermodalism, port strategy developments, digital maritime transport, and maritime tourism. The contributed chapters examine a variety of the economic, management and policy parameters that have resulted in the various unique successes and the easiness of several maritime sectors to remain competitive. It also explores in details those parameters that explain the observed failures and difficulties observed in several other markets of maritime transport. At the same time, it assesses the several systemic opportunities available to be grasped. This systemic approach endorsed in this volume allows drawing integrated conclusions for the sources of successes of, the problems involved with, and the pressures exercised on, maritime transport systems.Pallis, Athanasios A. is the author of 'Maritime Transport: The Greek Paradigm', published 2007 under ISBN 9780762314492 and ISBN 0762314494.
