Global shipping is a dynamic industry whose prosperity greatly affects the national
economy of each individual country. In addition, it has the capacity to stimulate the
country's outward orientation through participation in international trade, to create
new jobs, to improve its productivity and to contribute positively to GDP. However,
the upward trend in the shipping industry has been hampered by the global economic
crisis and the prolonged recession period experienced by most countries. For Greece,
the shipping industry is the main pillar of its development and has a long track record
and quite competitive advantages. One of the core activities of the shipping industry is
participation in international trade and hence freight transport. The structure of
shipping in the shipping industry has changed over the last few years, while the
supply chain is operating. The primary responsibility of the latter is to move goods
safely, while maintaining the quality of transport and focusing on meeting customer
requirements. In the context of writing this paper a case study was carried out at the
Port of Piraeus where the operation of the supply chain division and its structure was
identified. Finally, in a survey conducted in its operation, some data on the progress
of freight traffic in the last time, following the onset of the economic crisis, were
identified.
