Laskaridis says Greek shipping must change ‘for good and forever’
The Greek shipowner is hopeful the younger generation will be more proactive than his own in putting forward original policy proposals. Greek shipowners need to unify and translate their enormous presence in shipping into a similarly large harmonised voice that can bring collective clout to the table when global policy is being discussed by supranational bodies
The former president of the European Community Shipowners’ Association once again rejects the EU’s efforts to impose emissions regulations. However, he acknowledges it has become more difficult for the Greek shipping industry to influence European regulators
