Posidonia 2018<br />

Posidonia set a high benchmark for visitor numbers. Over<br />

22,000 visitors crowded the stands and attended the many<br />

events in the four halls and conference rooms at the stateof-the-art<br />

Metropolitan Expo. The programme will tackle<br />

shipping issues spanning shipping policy, trade and finance,<br />

energy, technology, port development, fuels and lubricants,<br />

water ballast treatment, the tanker and dry bulk market,<br />

hull performance, scrubbers, the environment, human performance<br />

and employment in shipping as well as claims and<br />

dispute resolution.<br />

The energy and excitement of the popular Posidonia Games<br />

kicked off five days of great business for the 1,825 exhibiting<br />

companies from over 90 countries.<br />

Over nearly 50 years the international shipping community<br />

has gathered at Posidonia, the home of Greek shipping, welcomed<br />

by the owners of a fleet of some 4,400 ships, including<br />

an order book of $22bn. Greek owners are also investing<br />

billions of dollars to ensure their fleet continues to lead the<br />

way in clean technologies and efficient operations. A multibillion<br />

market for Posidonia’s exhibitors.<br />
