The collaboration between Greek shipowners and Chinese shipyards was at the focus of a meeting between Maritime Affairs and Shipping Policy minister Yiannis Diamantidis and representatives of the Greek-Chinese Chamber on Monday, ahead of the minister's upcoming visit to China.
The Chamber delegation, which included representatives of member-companies who will be accompanying the minister to China, discussed with Diamantidis such matters as the lending terms of Chinese banks to Greek shipowners in the context of broader discussions recently underway, and stressed the need for the creation of a Greek Shipbuilding in China Special Fund with the collaboration of both sides.
The meeting also touched on matters concerning the logistics and more general issues of maritime and Greek shipping.
