Abstract: Abstract The business structure of Greek shipping business, as shaped in the 20th century, has its roots in the last third of the 19th century. Greek shipping businesses developed in parallel with European shipping businesses that participated in international freight markets. The comparative analysis of Greek and British firms at once confirms this fact and points out the international dimension of Greek businesses, which enabled them to utilize their particular characteristics in order to occupy a competitive place in international freight markets.
