Greek shipping rules in the seas all over the world. Together with tourism are the
major pillars Greek economy is based on. European shipping accounts for 43% of the
international shipping whereas Greek shipping covers a 47% of the European one. In
general, shipping industry activities support the economy either directly through
taxation or indirectly through employment. Thus, an equivalent support towards
shipping industry is expected from the Greek state.
The goal of this study is the recording of the role of public sector in Greece
concerning the development of Greek shipping industry. The objectives have to do
with the assessment of the participants’ knowledge with respect to the role of public
sector in relation with the overall activities of Greek shipping.
Both the answers of the public sector employees and the ones of those working
in shipping companies are compared with each other to reveal any differences and
suggest possible ways of improvement. The results record the different opinions that
exist among the people questioned about any additional taxes on shipping activities
and the evaluation of the supplied services according to each participant's employer,
sex, educational and financial level.
The different perspectives that are presented in this study are useful for the
evaluation of current situation and should be taken into consideration as they are an
important tool for making conclusions and suggestions towards the development of
shipping activities that are necessary for the country and their essential support by the
state.
