The Piraeus port, with its strategic geographical position, its dynamic and its constant upward trend, is the development engine of the port industry and the Greek economy. It is one of the largest passenger and commercial ports of Europe with ultramodern infrastructure and machinery, operates 365 days a year, 24 hours. The Piraeus port, with its ongoing investment plan of over € 350 million, aims to be established as the most important transit and logistics center in the Mediterranean. It is part of the Trans-European Networks and is certified as ECO PORT.

T The present issue you’ re reading is the 95th issue of SC & L magazine. Our magazine, is the most known communication channel in it’s sector since 2006. It’s promoting the logistics science and the interconnection of this market with the “related” industries.

One of them is undoubtedly the Shipping and Maritime Sector. Greek Shipping is traditionally the healthier sector of our national economy. The Greek-owned fleet is one of the most famous in the world. Nevertheless this strength has not been combined with other familiar sectors in Greece, such as logistics.

This feeling seems to be changing in recent years. Both the improvement of infrastructures that help to develop combined transport and the international interest of the freight market for flows from third countries to Europe through Greece, create new data.

SC & L magazine, always trying to catch up with the pulse of the market, writes and promotes the idea of interconnection of the two “markets”, shipping and supply chain services. The presence of our magazine at POSEIDONIA 2018, is a link in this value chain. The next link will be the “Supply Chain & Logistics” exhibition that we are organizing on 2-3-4 November 2019 in Athens...

THE GREEK MARITIME & LOGISTICS MARKET PREPARE FOR OBOR

By Mary Efthymiatou- Chief Editor SC&L magazine

Greece, in spite of the economic crisis, with a 100 billiondollar fleet, is the country's number one in the world ranking of merchant fleets - followed closely by Japan and China.

The US, Singapore, Norway and Germany follow the ranking. In particular, Greek oil tankers ($ 35.7 billion) contribute to this result, according to recent Vesselsvalue vessel data. Apart from that, a very interesting issue that brings together the maritime with the logistics industry, is the OBOR initiative. OBOR is a master plan. The One Belt One Road initiative, that has been under development since 2013, is in order to build trade and infrastructure networks, connecting Asia with Europe and Africa through the ancient Silk Road routes. Greece with Piraeus Port -its main corridor between Asia and Europe- seems to play a crucial role to the wider freight supply chain industry.

Greek Shipping – Figures

(The data has been provided by IHS Markit)

Information compared with corresponding data from the previous year, shows that, during the year to 19th of

March, 2018, the Greek controlled fleet has increased in terms of number of vessels, DWT and GT. According to the data, as of 19.03.2018, Greek interests controlled 4,148 vessels of various categories, of 341,925,357 total DWT and 199,286,013 total GT. Compared with the previous year’s data, this represents an increase of 63 vessels, 13,161,590 DWT and 6,855,494 GT. The figures include 200 vessels of various categories on order from shipyards, a total of 23,953,312 DWT and 14,205,765 GT.

The Greek controlled fleet is registered under some 41 flags. Flag Analysis of Ships owned by Greek parent companies, which gives the total number of ships, total DWT and total GT, registered under each of the main registries used by Greek owners, compared with the corresponding table of last year, shows that Liberia gained 49 ships, Marshall Islands 33 ships, Malta 23 ships and Cyprus 3 ships. On the other hand, a decrease has been recorded in the number of vessels under Panamanian flag, with a loss of 22, as well as Greece, which faced a loss of 24 ships this year, 672,557 in DWT and 317,788 in GT.

However, it should be noted that the Greek flag remains the largest in terms of DWT, with 21.8% of the total DWT of the Greek owned fleet.

With regard to the order book as to ship type, currently there are 74 oil tankers on order, 29 chemical & products tankers, 27 liquefied gas tankers, 57 ore & bulk carriers, 9 container ships, 4 other cargo

ships and no passenger or cargo ships on order. What is notable is that the Greek parent companies represent 26.4% of the world tanker fleet and 16.2% of the Ore and Bulk fleet. Overall, the Greek owned fleet as a percentage of the world fleet stands at 7.6 in terms of ship numbers, 13.8 in terms of GT and 16.4 in terms of DWT, as shown in table 4 of the attached data. The Greek registered fleet as a percentage of the world fleet, in terms of number of ships, GT, and DWT is 1.3, 3 and 3.6 respectively. Despite the unstable market conditions, the slight increases and decreases are encouraging.

Big Ships & Well-organized ports assists the OBOR project

Market sources are mentioning that “port acquisitions or mergers by Chinese firms in countries that are part of the OBOR initiative, would potentially have a substantial, positive impact on shipping industry, and ‘strong’ national flags will help this project”. During the last couple of years, we have seen more and more EU ports acquired by Chinese firms, redrawing the map of global trade. Piraeus holds a leading role in this plan.

That assumption could be very useful to those who would like to understand the “contact point” between the maritime and the logistics sector, as far as Europe is concerned. Piraeus is the main port entrance for Asia’s products into the European market and thus analysts underline the significant role of Greece in the “OBOR chain”. In the following article, o.mind Creatives (the publishing firm of SC&L magazine) and EY Greece, presents the findings of their new, state-of-the-art, survey, that proves the potential Greece has as a Global Logistics Hub.

| SURVEY

EY: EVALUATING GREECE AS A TRANSPORT & LOGISTICS HUB

By Thanos Mavros | Partner EY Greece / Advisory Services | Central & Southeastern Europe Head for Supply Chain & Operations

EY Greece and o.mind Creatives launched a new survey, “EY: Evaluating Greece as a Logistics Hub”, which was presented at the LOGI.C ’18. Following the success of last year’s survey, "Greece: International Freight Center", EY and o.mind Creatives cooperated again by conducting a new survey, which includes an in-depth analysis of the Greek Transport and Logistics Hub.

The new survey examines the thoughts of senior executives from the Maritime and Supply Chain Sectors, International Traders and Export Industry Representatives, who evaluate the infrastructure, the flows and the value chain services of the Greek Transport and Logistics Hub, offering their views on future trends.

Our goal was to understand the thoughts and suggestions of the Greek Transport and Logistics community, regarding the challenges and opportunities the industry is facing today.

The participants’ profile

The survey took place between 4 and 23 April 2018, collecting 122 responses from representatives of all the sectors.

More specifically, the majority (68%) of participants in our survey have been operating for more than 20 years, whereas one out of five (22%) has been operating between 10 and 19 years. One out of ten (10%) has begun operating in the middle of the economic crisis in Greece. With regards to the sector they operate in, almost half of respondents mentioned the Consumer Products sector (25%) and the Transport and 3rd Party Logistics (3PL) sector (24%). Eleven percent of participants operate in the Retail sector, while other sectors, such as Shipping, Power and Utilities, Mining and Metals, Chemicals, and Life Sciences are represented with smaller percentages.

The Piraeus port takes the lead, but the rest of the Greek ports need to follow

Participants were asked to evaluate the ports of Piraeus, Thessaloniki and other regional ports (e.g. Patras, Igoumenitsa, Volos, Astakos, Heraklion, Alexandroupoli and Kavala).

The Piraeus port seems to stand out of the crowd, having set the foundations in order to achieve excellence, compared to the Thessaloniki port and other regional ports. More specifically, respondents think that the Piraeus port exceeds standards or meets excellence in terms of availability / capacity, quality of infrastructures and quality and reliability of services. In terms of efficient / effective collaboration, the majority of participants believe that the port meets the standards, while a significant percentage thinks that its intermodal connectivity with other transport modes is low.

Participants did not have the same views for the Thessaloniki port and other regional ports, as they were evaluated significantly lower, compared to the Piraeus port, in these parameters.

In a nutshell, participants suggest:

• Better cooperation between the ports, in order to share best practices.

• Single window implementation.

• Privatization of regional ports, like in the case of Piraeus.

• That there is a need for port depots (hinterland logistics facilities).

• A synchronization of all operations in a 24/7 mode (including customs), in order to avoid the port warehouse fees and minimize lead time.

Rail still has a long way to go

The problems of the rail infrastructures and operations were highlighted

by our participants, who evaluated them as low and very low in terms of accessibility, intermodal connectivity with other transport modes and quality of infrastructures. As for the current rail freight operations, the survey respondents evaluated them as low or very low in terms of availability / capacity, intermodal connectivity with other transport modes, quality & reliability of service and efficient / effective collaboration.

Improvements are needed to the Thessaloniki and regional airports

When it came to evaluating the air freight infrastructures and operations of the Athens, the Thessaloniki and other regional airports, the survey participants seem to be thinking quite high of the Athens airport; at the same time, they have almost the opposite opinion for the rest of the Greek airports, which will have to make significant improvements. More specifically, while respondents think that, in terms of availability / capacity, the Athens airport meets or even exceeds standards, the rest of the airports were evaluated significantly lower in this parameter. The landscape remains more or less the same for the remaining parameters (intermodal connectivity with other transport modes, quality and reliability of service and efficient

/ effective collaboration), with the Athens airport taking the lead, leaving the rest of the Greek airports several steps behind.

The survey respondents made a few suggestions on the improvement of the air freight infrastructures, including establishing metro freight infrastructures, which will transfer goods from the port directly to the airport and vice versa, while a rail connection of the Thessaloniki airport was also mentioned.

Road infrastructures and transport are meeting standards

The results for the road infrastructures present a substantial development; however, the participants seem to think that there still is a lot of room for improvement.

More specifically, in the vast majority of the evaluated parameters, the road infrastructures ranked as “meets standards”, while the only parameter in which they ranked low is the intermodal connectivity with other transport modes.

With regards to the road freight transport, although respondents evaluate it as “meets” or even “exceeds standards” in all the parameters, there are participants who seem to think that it still needs a lot of improvement.

POSIDONIA SPECIAL EDITION | SURVEY

Sea transport is a fundamental link of the supply chain

It was with great interest that we saw the survey results regarding the sea freight transport, as respondents evaluated it in all parameters above average. More specifically, in terms of availability / capacity and quality and reliability of service, a significant percentage believes that the sea transport exceeds standards, while in the rest of the parameters they think it meets standards.

Warehousing

and 3PL services is doing “just ok”

Although not rated low by participants, the survey results show that warehousing infrastructures, services and 3PL / 4PL are meeting standards. More specifically, the majority of respondents rated warehousing as “meets standards” in terms of availability / capacity, range and quality of services, intermodal connectivity with other transport modes and efficient / effective collaboration. The fact that a small percentage of participants rated warehousing as “low” and almost the same percentage rated it as “exceeds expectations” (a quarter each) in terms of efficient / effective collaboration is certainly interesting.

While the landscape in warehousing appears good, the results show that there is room for improvement. A few comments by participants suggested that the creation of three to five logistics parks, a flexibility in regulations and incentives for creating new and high-standard warehouses would definitely improve warehousing. Perhaps the most important suggestions included tax incentives for the replacement of the truck fleet, in order to be able to compete with trucks of Bulgarian registration plate.

Customs are faced with many challenges

In this category, respondents were divided in two groups: the ones

that believe that the customs infrastructures and services are meeting standards, and the ones that think the customs perform significantly lower than standards. The number of participants who rated the customs as “exceeds standards” is very small, as opposed to the large number of participants who rated them as “very low”. The digitalization of the customs operations seems to be key in unlocking a better performance and, therefore, result in clients’ satisfaction.

The Greek Transport & Logistics Hub overall

Finally, we asked participants to share their views in terms of improvement over the past three years in all the aforementioned pillars of the Greek Transport & Logistics Hub.

As highlighted by the responses, the port of Piraeus seems to be leading as a best practice in the Greek Transport & Logistics Hub, while the rail infrastructures and operations have ranked in the lowest position. Among the Greek Transport & Logistics Hub pillars that were rated high, are the road infrastructures and transport, the sea transport and the air freight infrastructures and operations. In addition, we asked participants how they rate the Greek Transport & Logistics Hub’s competitiveness as a regional European freight / transshipment hub.

Although respondents seem to have a good opinion of specific pillars of the Greek Hub, their overall opinion is very low. Eightynine percent of participants rated the Greek Hub’s competitiveness as “low” or “meets standards”, while 5% rated it as very low and only 1% thinks that it exceeds standards.

The Greek Transport & Logistics Hub has certainly made significant progress, compared to previous years. However, reality strikes once again, as we have a long way to go to achieve excellence and compete equally against other European regional freight / transshipment hubs.

J. In your opinion, have the following knots been improved / deteriorated in terms of infrastructures & services over the past 3 years?

The knots of the logistics hub have been improved with the Piraeus port being the high outlier and rail and customs being the low outliers.

POSIDONIA_ A TRUE CELEBRATION OF THE MARITIME INDUSTRY

We are particularly proud that, amidst significant challenges both for the shipping industry and for Greece, Posidonia 2018 is once again here, manifesting the resilience, commitment and potential of our industry and our country. The achievements of Greek shipping are important, not only for Greece but also for Europe and for the welfare of all nations. The Greek-controlled fleet continues to hold the first position internationally, representing about 20% of the global fleet in dwt terms, including a 30% share of tankers and 22% of bulk carriers, while approximately half of the total European Union fleet capacity is Greek-owned. The achievements of Greek shipping are further reflected in the way it is welcomed, appreciated and respected by its trading partners around the world. It is this legacy of commitment and reliability that the Greek shipping community continuously strives to uphold and honour. This is also the legacy that the Posidonia Exhibition carries forward, as an established international institution of outstanding excellence.

Posidonia will soon open its doors to exhibitors and visitors from all over the world who will participate in what constitutes a celebration of the maritime industry but also a unique opportunity for presenting

the latest technological and other maritime innovations and for initiating solid partnerships. It is without doubt the most highly acknowledged international event for the global shipping industry and we are particularly pleased that our country is its birthplace. The Union of Greek Shipowners, as the institutional representative of the Greek shipping community, will remain at the forefront of efforts to forge strong alliances and establish constructive cooperation with stakeholders for sustainable shipping policies and for the benefit of international shipping, global trade and growth.

POSIDONIA SPECIAL EDITION | INTERVIEW

SC&L: Thessaloniki, which will be at the centre of discussions at the Forum, is a city whose face is changing and the main drivers of this change are its port and the new opportunities ahead, the ‘support’ it will have from the other ports in northern Greece as well as the completion of the railway lines. Do you believe that the city and the broader area of northern Greece can constitute a hub for all the Balkans?

St. Pitsiorlas: This is precisely our target: to make Greece, through Thessaloniki and northern Greece in general, a hub for the Balkan peninsula. In the first place, due to its geographical position of strategic importance there is a de facto prospect of achieving this target. Thus we ought to exploit this potential, so that through the upgrading of the infrastructure in northern Greece –a process which has started with the large investments in the regional airports and is now continuing with the ports of Thessaloniki and the broader region as well as their interconnection with the railway network – we will reinforce the ‘specific weight’ of our country. The region of northern Greece has great potential in crucial areas such as agribusiness, the manufacturing industry, transport and tourism. We ought to bring to the fore and exploit all the comparative advantages that Greece has and which derive from its geographical position, so that we can make this area the major entrance gate of freight flows between Europe and the East.

SC&L: One of the major issues which is of great concern and will be discussed by any businessman who participates in such a high standard forum is the stable political and tax environment in order for them to put in place a significant long term investment plan in the country. Given Greece’s economic condition, do you think it possesses such characteristics?

St. Pitsiorlas: The necessary and sufficient condition for the development of any healthy business activity is the existence of the necessary political will. In Greece’s case, this condition is met and translated

“The

region of northern Greece has great potential in crucial areas such as agribusiness, the manufacturing industry, transport and tourism. We ought to bring to the fore and exploit all the comparative advantages that Greece has and which derive from its geographical position, so that we can make this area the major entrance gate of freight flows between Europe and the East”

into stability for the country, a particularly crucial element for the further development of the business activity and the attraction of investments. In recent years, the country’s image has changed to the positive and the business community has recognised that. Greece now possesses plenty of positive characteristics which make it an attractive investment destination. To begin with, it has made huge steps both in the field of fiscal adjustment and also in the area of structural reforms while the institutional framework is constantly becoming friendlier towards business people. Furthermore, our country has inherent characteristics which can be exploited by businesses such as its excellent geographical position which gives it a competitive advantage as well as its highly skilled human resources.

SC&L: What message would like to address to the foreign participants to the Balkans &

Black Sea Cooperation Forum through the SC&L magazine?

St. Pitsiorlas: First of all, I would like to praise the initiative for the organisation of the Balkans & Black Sea Cooperation Forum. It is an exceptional opportunity for major companies of the region to meet. The businesses which will participate in the Forum will be able to create prospects for cross-border cooperation with businesses from other countries in the region. Achieving economies of scale and synergies is of vital importance for the healthy development of the business activity. The Ministry of Economy and Development acknowledges the significance of extroversion on the part of businesses and will give every possible assistance to the effort of creating cross-border cooperation and through the active support to the Forum we hope the businesses of the Balkans and the Black Sea will take advantage of the opportunities which will arise.

Mr. Iason Aggelopoulos, President of the Regulatory Authority for Ports (RAP)

«As a country we will focus on how “we shall open the box” in the ports»

The issues of the port connectivity and the management of services towards third parties in the Greek peripheral ports have recently been put on the negotiating table. With the port of Piraeus moving dynamically in the international ranking lists of European ports, and the port in Thessaloniki ready to follow in the same direction, the national development strategy for the Greek peripheral ports is becoming particularly important. On this issue but also on the role of the new Authority, we have discussed with the Mr. Iason Aggelopoulos, President of the newly-established Regulatory Authority for Ports (RAP hereinafter / RAL in Greek initials)

Interview to Mary Efthymiatou

SC&L: Mr. Aggelopoulos, could you give us an overview of the role of RAP in the new port ‘landscape’ which is being created in the country?

I. Aggel.: First of all, let me thank you for the opportunity that you provide the Regulatory Authority for Ports in order to present our work and responsibilities as well as to express our views and through your distinguished periodical to raise awareness of our presence and activities not only in the port industry but more generally in the area of logistics, the industry and commerce.

You know, in Piraeus and other ports the Regulatory Authority for Ports is more or less known. I mean to say that we have collaborated both with users’ associations and institutional bodies. We are not known – at least not yet – in the areas of industry and commerce, in other words, the bodies which use maritime routes, and consequently ports, to bring raw materials or intermediate products and move their finished products. 80% of global trade is conducted by sea and therefore through ports. But let us take matters from the beginning: the Regulatory Authority for Ports was initially established in 2014 as an autonomous service at the Ministry of Shipping and in May 2016 was transformed into an Independent Administrative Authority which falls under the Greek Parliament. The need for its establishment was put forward by the Institutions. As an independent authority it

has a particularity which is due to its dual role: firstly as a regulator of the port industry and secondly as a supervising authority for the concession contracts of the ports in Piraeus and Thessaloniki.

In its first capacity, its broader mission is to supervise, regulate and ensure the legality of the relations among producers, users and all those who are influenced by and are involved in the functioning of the national port system, placing an emphasis on the adherence to the contractual order and the application of legislation pertaining to free competition by taking regulatory measures. In essence the Regulatory Authority for Ports is a first instance quasi-judicial body. It is imperative that I stress that the Authority does not burden the national budget since its revenues exclusively derive from a 0.2% to 0.3% contributory fee imposed on the annual revenues of each port.

designed to function effectively and at very low overhead. Since 2016 it has issued more than one hundred decisions and has dealt with issues concerning individual purchase of port services. Indicatively, let me mention some of them: waste management, tugs, pilotage, water airport passenger services, loading and discharging services, mooring, storage/security, dredging, yachting marinas issues, etc.

In its second capacity the Regulatory Authority for Ports constitutes the body which supervises and exercises the contractual rights of the Greek State deriving from the Concession Contracts in its name and on its behalf, retaining the right to intervene in the assets to be conceded. It is the body which has the right – and I hope we shall never have to resort to exercising it – to terminate the contract, impose penalty clauses or refer the issue to arbitration bodies. Not to conclude my answer on a negative tone, allow

support the proper and timely implementation of the works and investments, which, in turn, are those to lead to an increase in the number of employment positions.

To conclude, since I referred to arbitration, let me say that by law the Authority is now able to officially carry out arbitration, besides mediation.

SC&L: The political leadership of the Ministry of Shipping and Island Policy has, since last year, spoken of a new model for the concession of peripheral ports. Would you like to delineate the differences with the models which were followed in the cases of the two large ports of the country, namely Piraeus and Thessaloniki?

I. Aggel.: The Authority does not comment on the decisions, statements or intentions of the executive power but only within institutional

POSIDONIA SPECIAL EDITION | INTERVIEW

Authority also constitutes an advisory body of the state and expresses its opinions when asked, as was the case with the structure of the national port system. In relation to your question, then, to my understanding, there is the intention to proceed with sub-concessions of specific activities, as is common practice in the majority of the European ports, and not master concessions of the totality of the port activities which include the port authority –with the exception of some state powers which are retained by the state. There are major differences between these models. In the first model, the one which has been implemented in Athens and Thessaloniki, the investors have undertaken all the port, all the activities and terminals. If you are, indirectly, asking me which model is more effective, I will forestall your question by saying that this constitutes the subject of scientific research in the field of port management and finance. What my institutional role allows me to say is that the Regulatory Authority for Ports will deal with equal diligence both in the cases of the existing master concessions in Piraeus and Thessaloniki but also in other possible future concessions / sub-concessions and that it will follow the international trends and developments in the port industry, which are rapid with mergers between global terminal operators and mega carriers, among others.

SC&L: One of the major national strategic targets which is indeed considered an abiding one is the upgrading of the country’s transport infrastructure so that it becomes an International Freight Center which will serve the freight flows from Asia to Europe and vice versa. What is the role of the Greek ports in the framework of this target? How close or far away are we from this aim?

I. Aggel.: We are still far from this target but steps are being made. In only one Greek port there is railway connection and there are regular freight services run. In other ports either there is the infrastructure but, for various reasons, it is not operational or it is under construction. Therefore, we are left mainly with the road connection, itself problematic at times both in

terms of infrastructure in the ports and also in terms of fleet quality. Globally, ports are being transformed in order to serve larger ships with greater efficiency while in our country we are still working on the self-evident: railway connections. But it is not only the railroad, and to give positive tone and in contradistinction to the above, let me say that at least as far as freight centers are concerned , such as the one in Thriasio, we have an opportunity to gain the lost ground and augment the Greek added value through logistics. We must, as a country, work hard on how to ‘open the box’, as they say, on cargo restructuring / re-palletization, etc. This period, the Authority is also working on this issue: how, in collaboration with customs offices, it will be able to facilitate the Piraeus

of short-sea shipping. Competitive, effective and with modern infrastructure ports translate into high levels of service and competitive port charges, which constitute important criteria both directly for the shipping but also indirectly for the producers and freight movers, in other words, the Greek industries and the logistics sector respectively. Our ports need complementarity, specialization and improved levels of servicing for users while maintaining competitive pricing and that is why a holistic vision for the Greek port industry is required. The role of the Regulatory Authority for Ports now as the regulator of port services is significant in this respect, particularly after the adoption of European Regulation 352/2017 on the liberalisation of port services.

“Competitive, effective and with modern infrastructure ports translate into high levels of service and competitive port charges, which constitute important criteria both directly for the shipping but also indirectly for the producers and freight movers”

Port Authority (PPA) to make an additional investment – besides the obligatory ones which are inscribed in the concession contract – in order to construct a logistics centre in the space of the former Public Material Management Organization (ODDY) next to the port.

SC&L: What would you say if we wished to define the role of the Greek ports – both the two major ones as well as the peripheral ones – on the Maritime stage? What can our ports offer to the international maritime ‘value chain’?

I. Aggel.: There is no doubt that the value of our ports, both due to the investments in Piraeus and the gradual improvement of the road and rail infrastructures, has great potentials for considerable increase. Greece and its large ports are now considered one of Europe’s freight gates, particularly for cargo from the East and has gained prominent status for the deepsea shipping while, at the same time, new opportunities are arising for the development

SC&L: As president of the Regulatory Authority for Ports, what message would you like to send the shipping market but also the related market of supply value chain services provision?

I. Aggel.: Allow me to broaden your question because the Authority has more than one message aiming at different recipients and interested parties:

a. To the port organizations and port funds: the Authority stands by you in order to observe legality and the contractual order, b. to port users: your requests and formal complaints will always be given the proper attention, c. to the concessionaires: security, a fair investment environment and the institutional stability are of prime importance to us and d. to all the above, including the private port services providers: the Regulatory Authority for Ports will work on the principle of fair and objective decisions based on the law and having meticulously studied all the evidence provided in each case.

PRIVATIZING THESSALONIKI PORT AUTHORITY SA: THE OUTCOME OF A LENGTHY PROCESS

By George Vaggelas

The port is Thessaloniki in Greece. The date is March 2018.

A long port privatization process that lasted almost 13 (!!) years is finally concluded, with the Greek state handing 67% of the shares of the Thessaloniki Port Authority S.A. to the new owners of the port, the South Europe Gateway Thessaloniki (SEGT) Ltd. This transaction is the outcome of an international call by the Greek government, that was initiated in 2014 and the winning of the tender by SEGT; the other two binding bids for a majority stake in the second-largest port in the country were Philipines -based International Container Terminal Services (ICTS), and Dubai-based P&O Steam Navigation Company (DP World). But what are the terms of the privatization of the port of Thessaloniki that in 2017 handled 3,186 million tons of dry bulk and break bulk cargoes and 401.473 TEUs, well above the 2016 throughput data (Table 1).

Interestingly enough none of its members has any association with the island. Deutsche Invest Equity Partners GmbH, a German fund, which holds the 47% of the SEGT shares, leads the consortium. The second partner is Terminal Link SAS, an international terminal operator, affiliated with CMA-CGM, which holds the 33% of the shares. The rest 20% belongs to Belterra Investments Ltd, a holding company based in Cyprus, owned by the Russian entrepreneur and active investor in Greece Ivan Savvidis.

What

do the new owners inherit?

The new owners of the second biggest container port in Greece and the major dry bulk and break bulk port of the country inherits an

and Thanos Pallis

operating port with six piers, 6.150 m. of docks, 1,55 million square meters of port land and several buildings and warehouses. The port of Thessaloniki is part of the core TEN-T network and is in proximity to the Trans-Adriatic-Pipeline (TAP).

According to the Financial Report of ThPA S.A., at the end of the

fiscal year 2016 cash and cash equivalents of the company were almost €48,5 m. while for the pending fiscal year 2017 this amount is expected to be significantly higher.

How much did it cost to buy this port?

The total amount paid by SEGT for buying the 67% of ThPA S.A. shares was €231.9 m.

The financial offer for this acquisition was €34,34/share, standing at a premium of 67,4% to the then (24.4.2017) share price at the Athens Stock Exchange. The transaction concluded at this price/share, which equals to a 14,68 P/E ratio.

The new owner will also pay to the Greek State an annual fee equal to the 3,5% of the consolidated revenues of the port, with this amount standing at a minimum of no less than €1.8 m.

Guaranteed investments

The new owners guarantee minimum investments of €180 m. Although the investment plan is still unclear and according to the new owner will be published on May 2018, an investment of €130 m. is planned for the expansion of the container terminal Pier VI, an investment of

POSIDONIA SPECIAL EDITION | ARTICLE

€30 m. for the modernization of the cargo handling equipment at both the container and the conventional cargoes terminals and finally an extra €20 m. are for the restoration of the passenger terminal building and the general port development.

The Greek State will sustain its role as investor, as it will complete two significant investments that will increase the port’s connectivity with the land transport networks. The first one is the integration of the port with the national Rail Network and the completion of the necessary works for the connection of the container terminal with the Thessaloniki-Athens and the Egnatia Motorways. Failing to do so, will result in penalties by the new owner to the Greek State.

Guaranteed (minimum) efficiency

The clauses of the agreement include the minimum throughput scales for both the container and the conventional cargo terminals.

For the container terminal the minimum throughput has been set at 370.000 TEUs for the period 2024-2027, to progressively increase to 650.000 TEUs for the period 2038-2051.

For the conventional cargoes, the minimum throughput has been set at 3.8 m. tones annually for the period 2024-2027, increasing to 5 m. tones for the period 2038-2051.

Notably in 2017 the terminals of the publicly owned and operated port of Thessaloniki handled already 401.473 TEUs and 3.808.951 tones. Performance guarantees: The agreement foresees several minimum performance standards, including a minimum rate of 18 moves/gantry

crane and a 45 minutes turn-around time for trucks at the container terminal; 100 tones / hour / gang for the dry bulk cargoes; and 90 tones or 25 tones per hour/gang for the break-bulk cargoes for high and low performance cargoes respectively.

Stock exchange reactions

The privatization resulted in a significant increase of share prices, as shown in the table below. Given the €1,3973 earnings / share for the fiscal year 2016, the majority of the shares was sold at a P/E equal to 14.68. The share value raised the day after to a P/E equal to 15,24 and concluded the trading year 2017 at P/E = 17,68. Today, almost a year after the announcement – and few days following the completion of the transaction the shares are traded at a P/E=20,18

A bid of history

The story goes more than a decade before: an initial call for tenders was seeking a more conventional privatization model via a concessioning of the container terminal to an international terminal operator. This had led to the nomination of Hutchison Whampoa Ltd as the preferred bidder with Hutchison abandoning the project in the light of the global financial crisis of 2008-9 and its implications.

..and an interesting note

Now Greece, under the coordination of a ‘left wing’ government, has sold the port authorities of both major ports of the country, Piraeus and Thessaloniki, configurating a very unique port governance prototype. It remains to be seen whether this model will prove to be efficient and effective enough to satisfy the users of these ports and serve the needs of the national economy.

SEANAIRGY A “MIRACLE” OF COMBINED TRANSPORT SYNERGY

The synergy between Athens International Airport (AIA) and Piraeus Free Zone has led to the seanairgy initiative, an innovative concept for the combined sea and air transportation of goods through Greece, fully applicable also to the trade of ship supplies. Shipping companies, ship spares and stores suppliers, manufacturers of marine engine-spares and the ship repairs industry in general may now benefit from the new service.

AIA was the first European airport to have launched multimodal flows combining maritime, road, and air traffic already in 2006 offering to customers an attractive alternative to pure air or sea transport by enabling them to forward their transit cargo via Piraeus port and Athens airport to final destinations internationally.

Having signed Cooperation Agreements with both Piraeus seaport operators (Piraeus Port Authority S.A. (PPA) in 2006 and Piraeus Container Terminal S.A. (PCT) in 2010 regarding the seamless transportation of full containers from the port to the airport, a same-day connection from the seaport to Athens International Airport and a total transit time of five days at overly competitive rates was achieved.

In 2017, this service was further expanded through the collaboration of AIA with Piraeus Consolidation & Distribution Centre (PCDC), a new and modern warehouse within the Piraeus Free Zone that offers full scale logistics services taking advantage of the port’s location and infrastructure. As a result, marine industry customers are now offered the possibility to use the seanairgy flow concept for partial loads and individual shipments of ship spares and other types of cargo.

By combining the competitive cost of sea-freight through Piraeus, a hub with an ideal geostrategic position linking the Far East with the European Union, with AIA’s international network and the speed and accuracy of air-freight, PCDC and AIA offer tailor-made and cost-effective solutions,

which are expected to be highly appreciated by the Marine Industry. This combined freight transport is further supported by simplified customs procedures applicable both at Piraeus Free Zone and at Athens International Airport offering unique advantages to customers targeting the global market. Transit through Greece is made easy through this one-stopshop service.

In specific, the implementation of the new national legislation (POL: 1026/2016) gives Free Zone Operators the right to issue VAT exemption vouchers on entrance of ship supplies in the free zone and report end use products and services to Customs Authorities at a later stage. The combination of EU and national legislation creates a friendly and flexible environment for ship supply operations that benefit from time and cost savings, economies of scale, swift procedures, reliable and secure handling, as well as efficiencies in the supply chain of the marine industry. Through the seamless link between Piraeus Free Zone and Athens International Airport the common vision of PCDC and AIA is met: Piraeus becomes the preferred hub also for Ship Supplies Handling by taking advantage of the sea and air transportation, strategically located cargo terminals, transit centers, storage and logistics services as well as the integral, fast, reliable and economical services offered.

GREEN HOUSE GAS (GHG) EMISSIONS IN THE MARITIME SECTOR:

TURNING CHALLENGE TO OPPORTUNITY

Article by A. Gialos and Dr. V. Zeimpekis

hipping is the principal means of world trade, carrying as much as 90% in volume of goods and products. However, shipping is one of the largest and continuously growing sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are affecting negatively the globalclimate. Indeed, the emissions from global shipping industry amount approximately 800 million tonnes per year, accounting for 2.6% of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions (ICCT, 2017) and for 4% of the EU's total emissions (EC, 2013). If no action is taken, these emissions are projected to increase between 50% and 250% by 2050 (Figure 1), due to the expected growth of the world economy and associated transport demand (IMO, 2015). Emissions’ projections demonstrate that a series of preventive measures should be taken into account in order to achieve energy savings and reduction of GHG emissions. Yet, it is important that those measures are effective and offer net benefits for the shipping companies (i.e. turn challenge to opportunity). During the last decade it is evident that the high price of fuel has led to the reduction of vessels’ speed, resulting in the reduction of the daily fuel consumption. Nevertheless, these cost and energy savings have been achieved in an inefficient way as the duration of trips has increased and a larger number of ships are required in order to complete the same amount of transport workload. To this end, the adoption of innovative technologies, alternative type of fuels, and efficient strategies are some of the most important initiatives that can be adopted so as to tackle the problems related to transport externalities caused by international shipping.

The EU strategy

The European Union and its Member States have a solid approach for a global approach to reducing GHG emissions from international shipping, which is led by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). In 2013 the EU set out a strategy for progressively integrating maritime emissions into the EU's policy for reducing its domestic greenhouse gas emissions. The strategy consists of three consecutive steps (EC, 2013):

SIROCCO SUSTAINABLE INTERREGIONAL COASTAL & CRUISE MARITIME TOURISM THOUGH COOPERATION AND JOINT PLANNING

By A. Halatsis

With €40 billion economic impact and 6 million passengers, cruise tourism plays a key role in Europe and especially in the MED. As cruise tourism grows, the challenge for the Mediterranean is to exploit its full potential in a (environmentally, socially & economically) sustainable way.

Aiming at contributing in addressing this challenge, the SIROCCO project (co-financed by the Interreg-Med Programme) brought together 7 partners from 5 Mediterranean countries: the Public Institution RERA for Coordination & Development of Split Dalmatia County (Croatia), the South Aegean Region (Greece), the LarnacaFamagusta District Development Agency - ANETEL (Cyprus), the Regione Lazio (Italy), the Centre-North Tyrrhenian Sea Port Authority System (Italy), the Valenciaport Foundation (Spain) and the Hellenic Institute of Transport of CERTH (Greece). The team was complemented by three associated partners, the Hellenic Ports Association (Greece), the Cyprus Ports Authority and the Agència Valenciana del Turisme (Spain). SIROCCO kicked-off in November 2017 and is going to be completed at the end of June 2018.

The initial analysis undertaken by the SIROCCO team members verified a number of problems in the cruise tourism sector and identified additional ones, addressing which, requires coordinated actions at interregional and international level. Among those, special reference needs to be made to the:

• lack of adequate quantitative data, especially regarding the environmental and social impacts of cruise tourism, their allocation among cruise tourism stakeholders, and the individual cruise tourism segments (e.g. thematic cruise tourism, luxury cruise tourism vs conventional, etc.). Even in cases where quantitative data are available, their fragmentation and the lack of complementarity make their use quite difficult.

• lack of a commonly accepted scheme for assessing the sustainability of cruise value chains, being able to integrate its economic, environmental and social dimensions

• lack of a mix of actions that reflects the differentiation between large (marquee) and small cruise ports and destinations in the Mediterranean, where the first attract the current growth of cruise tourism, while the latter face constantly decreasing volumes and struggle to create and fully capture benefits generated by cruise tourism

• limited coordination of strategies and policies at regional and interregional level, a paradox when considering: (1) that the service offering of cruise tourism is based on transnational cooperation by its very nature and (2) that negative environmental impacts that might occur due to lack of responsible tourism mechanisms cannot be contained in and cannot be efficiently addressed by a single region or country

Having the above issues as a starting point, SIROCCO organised its work along two streams:

• at the operational one, analysing the impacts of cruise tourism in five destinations (value chains) in the Mediterranean, and • at the policy one, focusing on the required policy coherence and coordination within and between Mediterranean regions. Among the final outputs of the project, three of them deserve being especially mentioned.

The first one is the SIROCCO Sustainable Cruise Tourism Certification System (SSCTCS). This is a system designed to be compatible to the widely known ETIS (European Tourism Indicator System) and was formulated in such a way that it can address the specific requirements of cruise tourism. During its development, criteria of other related systems were taken into account and translated into the cruise environment, among those being the ones of the GSTC (Global Sustainable Tourism Council) for Destinations and Tour Operators, of Travelife, of EcoPorts SDM and of the EU EcoLabel. The SIROCCO Sustainable Cruise Tourism Certification System employs a Value Chain approach taking into consideration the activities of all cruise stakeholders (cruisers, ports, cruise lines, city/regional authorities,

SIROCCO’s methodological approach

citizens, service providers, local businesses, etc.) and incorporates all three sustainability components, i.e. economic, environmental and social sustainability. It includes an indicator structure and furthermore links each indicator to the respective cruise value chain actor who can provide the required data and proposes relevant data sources and collection methods.

The second of the main project outputs, consists of the Sustainable Cruise Value Chain Action Plans developed for each one of the 5 project destinations. The Action Plans were formulated based on the value chain analysis undertaken in each cruise destination (Valencia, Civitavecchia-Rome, Split, Rhodes, Limassol) and its results regarding the economic, environmental and social impacts of cruise tourism, the interaction between cruise tourism and cultural heritage, and the impacts related to seasonality. The Action Plan of each destination was finalised through local stakeholder validation, making use of

e-consultation.

Finally, the third one of the project’s main outputs (under development at the time this article is being written) concerns the coordination of the various regional policies related to cruise tourism. In each one of the regions involved in the project, the existing or planned policies in the areas of tourism, spatial planning, cultural heritage, and smart specialisation are analysed, and actions for achieving synergies with cruise tourism, are proposed. This policy analysis and integration approach will lead to 5 Cruise Tourism Regionally-integrated Strategies, one for each SIROCCO destinations. The project will also identify opportunities, potential benefits & actions required for interregional strategy coordination.

All the above described project outputs, and even more, will be

CHIOS TO HOST THE JEAN MONNET SYMPOSIUM ON THE «FUTURE OF THE EUROPEAN PORT POLICY», 28-29 JUNE 2018

The Jean Monnet Action “European Ports Policy”, of the Department of Shipping, Trade and Transport, of the University of the Aegean, organizes the Jean Monnet Symposium on “The future of the European Port Policy” – an international 2-day meeting of decision-makers, stakeholders and the academia, aiming to generate knowledge and advance the dialogue on the prospects of the European ports and port related initiatives.

The Symposium will take place in Chios, Greece, an island of strong maritime tradition, 28-29 June 2018, and will mark the 15th year of the EU funded Jean Monnet Action “European Port Policy”.

Key developments in European Ports Policy

With European ports being engines of growth, EU institutions and stakeholders continue to discuss a number of initiatives aiming to increase the competitiveness of the port sector. The adoption of the Port Services Regulation marked the conclusion of a lengthy discussion on the organization of port services provision and the progressive expansion of the related policy agenda.

The European agenda today includes issues such as the implementation of the Port Services Regulation; the implementation of the General Block Exemption Regulation; the utilization of ports as hubs for blue growth; the enhancement of the market potential of ports; the development of financial opportunities for the ports sector; and the sharing of good practices from the sector. The on-going social dialogue might also have implication of working and employment conditions in European ports. A number of additional issues, such as addressing environmental challenges, security, and safety, are also under discussion. The European shipping policy, and number of initiatives aiming to develop European transport systems are closely related to port development, while the ways to enhance and, not least, monitor European ports performance is extensively discussed both by academia and industry experts. Meanwhile the European Ports Forum held its first meeting in December 2017, with an ambitious agenda including port connections to the hinterland; funding, financing and charging of ports infrastructure and services; implementing EU law on ports,

including state aid, concessions, and freedom of establishment; administrative simplification for investments and operations in port; environmental port charging; other measures to reduce the environmental impacts in and around ports; energy efficiency and provision of alternative fuels in ports; adaptation of ports to the energy transition; integration of ports in port-cities; innovation and new port skills and competencies; and international port collaboration. All these are developments demanding adaptations by European ports. The efficient and effective response to the contemporary trends in maritime transport systems and ports integration in modern maritime supply chains is vital for the enhancement of their competitiveness.

The Symposium

Given the importance of the aforementioned developments more than 100 participants representing major European port related interest groups, ports, institutions and other stakeholders from all

over Europe are expected together in Chios, Greece on the 28th and the 29th of June to discuss the future of the European Ports Policy.

The first day of the Symposium will bring together decision-makers, stakeholders and invited experts, who are expected to discuss the key themes, the prospects and the role of European level initiatives in reinforcing the competitiveness of European ports. Confirmed speakers already include:

• International institutions and associations such as the European Commission, the International Transport Forum (ITF) at OECD; the International Association of Port-Cities (AIVP); And the International Association of Ports and Harbours (IAPH),

• European organisations, such as the European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO); the Federation of Private Port Operators (FEPORT); The European Transport workers Federation (ETF); European Dredging Association (EuDA);

• European ports, including the third biggest European port, Hamburg, as well as Piraeus, Thessaloniki, Volos, Corfu, Heraklion, Chios, South Adriatic, Ege ports, and Turkish Ports Association;

• Representatives of the Greek state, including Dr. Christos Lambridis, Secretary General for Ports, Port Polcicy and Maritime Investments, Ministry of Shipping and Island Policy, and Dr. Jason Aggelopoulos, President of the Regulatory Authority for Ports,

• Chambers of Commerce and industry, including the Piraeus and the North Greece ones,

• Environmental groups, Such as Mesogios SOS, the European Environmental Bureau, etc.

The second day of the Jean Monnet Symposium, to be hosted at the ‘Mastiha Museum’ by the Cultural Foundation of Piraeus Bank, aims to stimulate intellectual discussion, between scholars studying aspects related to ports policy, allowing interactions between theory and practice. The PortEconomics team scientifically coordinates the Symposium, while the Jean Monnet Round-Tables are organised by the Jean Monnet action “European Port Policy”.

Last but not least, participants will also have the opportunity to discuss the latest study conducted by think-tank DiaNeosis, on the development of cruise ports, and in particular home-porting.

“The Symposium will be among the key meetings of the European port industries in 2018, and a unique opportunity for port executives, personnel and stakeholders to discuss and shape future discussions and initiatives aiming to advance the competitiveness of European ports” says Dr Thanos Pallis, scientific coordinator of the Jean Monnet Action “European Ports Policy” at the University of the Aegean and Chair of the Symposium.

Registrations are open until will be received until 15th June 2018.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

GREECE: DESTINATION EUROPE

By Fotis Daousis_ International Business Development o.mind Creatives

Welcome to Greece! Most of you must be familiar with this phrase as it usually precedes touristic deals, attractions, etc. However, this time Greece welcomes you and your business also as a logistics partner. Greece, faces an impressive business development as a European Hub and a Gateway. This is due to many reasons, the most important being:

• Land transportation infrastructure development

• Port development, led by the port of Piraeus, following the acquisition by Cosco

• Air cargo development through the fruitful efforts of the cargo community

• Railway infrastructure development program is up and running

• Important changes in related legislature that were recommended by a committee consisting of both private and public-sector stakeholders

• And the most powerful of all; The Greek Shipping industry supporting all efforts focusing in transforming Greece in a European gateway and Commercial Hub.

YoY development figures in logistics rise at such impressive rates that more and more international companies find it promising to invest in the Greek Supply Chain & Logistics Sector. Furthermore, many international 3PL providers as well as international forwarders re-evaluate current routes that are utilized to serve their customers with re-calculated new routes via Greece offering a considering cost as well as faster delivery advantage that cannot pass unnoticed by the providers that strive to constantly improve the services to their customers. New collaborations surface with service providers from all transportation modes around the world designing and implementing new routes and new ways to improve their operations. There is an increasing number of those who place Greece highly on their service redesign as another European Gateway enjoying the considerably less transit time in days for their products to reach the European market.

The next big bet is the introduction of added value activities in the developing consolidation centers around the country so as the highly specialized workforce that exists in Greece to positively contribute to the global supply chain, transforming it into a global value chain.

MEET THE SPECIALISTS ON CUSTOM WAREHOUSES
