Opening of Posidonia 2014 Shipping Exhibition in Greece

Today, June 2, the most prestigious maritime exhibition, Posidonia 2014, will open its doors at the Metropolitan Expo Centre, near Athens International Airport. The exhibition is scheduled to last from June 2 to June 6. Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras will participate in the exhibition opening. “The participation of 1,800 exhibitors from 93 countries and the estimated 19,000 visitors who will attend Posidonia 2014 underlines the importance of this exhibition for the shipping industry. Posidonia 2014 is very important in the finalization of new investments, new product presentations and the discussion of institutional and technological developments that directly affect this industry,” noted the organizers. Furthermore, the organizers also mentioned that several large shipping companies from the Far East (China, Japan, Korea), as well as companies from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman will be part of this year’s exhibition, seeking investment and partnership opportunities in Greek shipping assets. “It is particularly important that the Greek Forum for Marine Equipment and Exporting ‘HEPHAESTUS’ will also be part of Posodonia.”
