Posidonia 2016 is on course to be the biggest ever despite unfavourable market conditions such as plummeting oil prices and slowing economic growth in key economies and especially China.

With floor space demand at unprecedented levels, the organisers of the world’s most prestigious shipping trade event expect to break the previous records set during Posidonia 2014 which was attended by more than 1.840 exhibitors and 19.000 visitors.

"Posidonia 2016 takes place in a particularly challenging period for the shipping industry worldwide. Shipping has overcome in the past difficult situations and transitions and has always found the way to survival and recovery; a way that is so much needed by the national, European and global economy, as indeed mirrored by shipping activities." T. Veniamis, President of the Union of Greek Shipowners.
