Chapter 10 Coastal Shipping and Intermodality in Greece: The Weak Link

Seraphim Kapros and Costas Panou

Research in Transportation Economics, 2007, vol. 21, issue 1, 323-342

Abstract: The Greek shipping industry, strongly internationalized, holds the first position in the world market. Domestically, a quite complicated coastal shipping network has been developed with ferry lines among continental ports fitting the definition of short-sea shipping (SSS), which is still low in market share. In this framework, the following sections analyse the needs, the opportunities and the constraints for the development of an intermodal maritime transport network in Greece. They also focus on the reasons that hindered the potential for Greek coastal shipping in intermodal transport and kept ferry services between ports of the mainland and insular Greece away from being integral parts of well-organized intermodal chains.
