INDUSTRY - GREECE - POSIDONIA PREVIEW Posidonia – where East meets West A recent spate of new Greek-controlled shipbuilding orders worth an estimated €750 mill has coincided with the findings of an international report, which indicated that market confidence in the global freight market is at a 15-month high. This double boost signals a cause for optimism for the beleaguered Greek economy as the country gets ready to welcome a windfall of nearly €50 mill linked to the projected revenue to be generated by the 10,000 international visitors who will attend this year’s Posidonia shipping exhibition, the organiser Posidonia Exhibitions said. The company also claimed that this year’s show will break all previous records with a sold out floor space of more than 30,000 sq m. To be held from June 7 – 11 at the Hellenikon Exhibition Centre (HEC), Posidonia 2010 will attract nearly 1,800 exhibitors from 86 countries and will be visited by around 20,000 Greek and foreign industry professionals and government officials. This number is likely to grow as the world emerges from recession with many of them expected to focus on the three key growth areas of shipbuilding, ships’ equipment and the maritime service industries, the organiser claimed. “We have seen an increase of 12% in reserved exhibitor space compared with the 2008 edition. Everything points to the biggest ever Posidonia in the event’s four-decade long history,” said Theodore Vokos, project manager, Posidonia Exhibitions. Large Asian presence Asia is both a traditional and an emerging maritime market and looks set to firm its grip on world shipping through an all-time record participation at this year’s Posidonia, the organiser said. “The recent spate of newbuilding orders from Greek shipowners is a tangible sign of recovery and has reignited the interest of Asia’s traditional shipbuilding superpowers South Korea, Japan and China, who will field their biggest ever participation at Posidonia this year,” said Vokos. “India’s ascendance as a world shipbuilding force is another contributing factor to Asia’s undisputed leadership in the shipbuilding industry. The country’s first ever national pavilion at Posidonia serves as a reminder of India’s great ambitions and aspirations to be perceived as a key shipbuilding nation and services provider to the international maritime scene,” he said. As mentioned, India will make its Posidonia debut with a 300 sq m pavilion under the auspices of the Shipyards Association of India. The committed Far East presence at Posidonia 2010 is already 45% larger compared with the 2008 exhibition bringing the total floor space of Asian participation up to 3,166 sq m, an increase of 1,000 sq m from two years ago. South Korea has confirmed its biggest ever Posidonia exhibitor participation, with KOSHIPA and KOMEA creating an impressive Korean pavilion. Equally important is the increased stand-alone presence of their major shipyards, which will China has booked a second pavilion at this year’s Posidonia. 30 TANKER<strong>Operator</strong> June 2010
