In a year characterised by a global shipping revival, Greek shipowners showed a renewed appetite to buy containerships in 2017.
Bold forays by major players such as Angeliki Frangou made a clear impact on Greek sale-and-purchase patterns during the year.
Greeks more than tripled their spend on secondhand boxship tonnage between 2016 and 2017. Their total spend rose to $582m from $159m, according to data compiled by TradeWinds from confirmed and finalised deals.
