Greek Shipping a Global Force:
Greece, a country of about 11 million people, controls by far the biggest
share -- nearly 20% -- of the world's merchant fleet by tonnage and has a
long tradition as a maritime nation. Greek shipowners who compete on a
global scale have a track record as astute operators and asset traders.
Even though shipping is not related to the development of the Greek economy
itself, it is a significant contributor to it mainly through the foreign
currency inflows it generates.
Greek shipping has now successfully become a key participant in the U.S.
capital markets. Since 2005, the majority of U.S. listings in shipping have
been by Greek owned or managed shipping companies.
Other companies presenting at the Forum:
The Forum also includes presentations by Greece's top government officials
for economic policy, privatization and investments, as well as corporate
leaders, including those of ALAPIS, Attica Bank, Coca Cola Hellenic (NYSE : CCH ), Hellenic Telecommunications (NYSE : OTE ), Hellenic Petroleum,
Intralot, Lykourezos Law Offices and others.

Trump, Executive Vice President, Development & Acquisitions, The Trump
Organization.
