...με τα μυαλά που έχουμε, και την ανυπαρξία πολιτικής, φαίνεται ότι βαπόρια νέας τεχνολογίας, που τότε θα είναι ξεπερασμένη, θα δούμε στην Ελλάδα σε 35 χρόνια, εκτός και αν κάτι αλλάξει, που για να αλλάξει, θα πρέπει η αρχή να γίνει από την νοοτροπία μας... και βεβαίως μπροστάρηδες όχι χαρτογιακάδες και κομπλεξικούς που χρησιμοποιούν τους θεσμούς για την ανικανότητα τους, αλλά επιτυχημένους , σοβαρούς και αναγνωρίσιμους. Σε αυτό, πρέπει να συμβάλει και η πολιτεία...λέμε τώρα

Hamburg shipbrokers Toepfer Transport have started issuing regular European shortsea reports. Among key takeaways from the first 14-page report, published this week, are the statistics on how old the average age of this niche fleet is.
About 50% of the European shortsea fleet is more than
20 years old, with Toepfer Transport suggesting 24% of the fleet will reach the
end of their economic life in the next five to 10 years, needing replacement.
The current orderbook is about 3.5% of the trading fleet.
“The imbalance between the rapidly ageing fleet and
the low orderbook is even higher since vessels above 20 years of age tend to be
sold to other markets,” Toepfer Transport pointed out.
The vintage nature of the European shortsea fleet was
something picked up by Viridis Bulk
Carriers last month. Viridis
features ammonia fuel specialist Amon Maritime and two Norwegian shipowners –
Navigare Logistics and Mosvolds Rederi – with aims to create a zero emissions
dry bulk shipping company with a first ship on the water by 2024.
“With an average age of close to 30 years, the
European shortsea shipping fleet is on the verge of a much-needed renewal
process,” commented Jan Sigurd Vigmostad, chief investment officer at Glastad
Holding and Mosvolds Rederi, on the launch of the new company 10 days ago.
