  • Sanctions after the invasion of Ukraine sent tanker values soaring, boosting the fortunes of these Greek maritime moguls to record highs and minting at least seven new 10-figure fortunes.
    Forbes estimates there are now at least 12 shipping billionaires in Greece, more than at any other time in history. Seven of them are making their debut in Forbes’ billionaire ranks. They are worth a collective $32 billion-the equivalent of roughly 12% of the country’s gross domestic product.
    These tycoons are the latest in a line of swashbuckling pioneers hailing back to iconic figures like Aristotle Onassis and Stavros Niarchos, who launched the global oil tanker trade after World War II and became famous for their glamorous marriages and lifestyles. This newer group has been in shipping for decades but kept a lower profile. (Despite their success, none would speak to Forbes, while their representatives either declined to comment or did not respond.)

    Greek shipping "industry". A nepotistic system revolving around a family owning ships.The only system where you pay zero taxes , and also the only industry where you can purchase a ship with 70%-90% financed by a bank depending how much your family owns politicians. And if your ship does not make money no worries just abandon it for the banks to take over, the citizens will pay.
    In Italy their mafia owns the civil sector , in Albania the drugs and human trafficking , in Greece the mafia owns the shipping sector, football clubs and the political parties.
    As a Greek i feel offended when i hear about the "Greek shipping industry" , these families have nothing to do with Greece , they produce massive wealth for their families and own the useless political parties we have around in the Greek "democratic" system for at least the last 70 years.

      It isnt nepotistic, they are entrepreneurs who traditionally knew the seas very well and were captains who personally be on boats in the beginning many of them. Of course when the times changed they became businessmen and tradesmen.
      But they still know the sea trades very well.
      And by the way they give a very big amount of jobs in the country and as a field it is employing people with good salaries in contrast to for example tourism industry - hospitality which many times does pay the salaries that it should.

    Greek shipowners made fortunes from breaking blockades . The first one was the one in Napoleonic wars and the wealth that accumulated actually helped the then enslaved Greeks to fight for their freedom for the ottoman empire back in 19th century. Now , the fact that some of the greek shipowners move or moved russian or iranian or venezuelan etc greek owned tankers are 25% of total global dwt and some of it used to carry russian oil since russia didnt have a taker fleet of its own and if they dont move it then someone else will take their contracts (now shadow fleets are doing the job). I think that the majority of them dont carry russian oil that is sold more than the legal rate to begin with. Its just business and if theres a need to move oil from one port to another greek shipowners will be there to do the job. As for tax benefits etc yeah as a greek i can tell you that greek shipowners dont pay 40 to 44 % of their annual income like other people do but i dont think that other great conglomerates or wealthy entrepreneurs pay their fair share of taxes to begin with. I dont think we invented offshore tax heavens in the first place.

    Accurate as this observations is, it has failed to address the following: Firstly, that the owners resulting in this practice are a niche among a niche, meaning that the majority of the 600+ Greek owned, family ran businesses are not involved in such schemes. Lastly, Greek owners are not the only ones doing business with Russia, or Iran. So, the article is indeed informative, however lacks additional information and does not paint a clear picture of the il carrying industry.

There are several american companies that have their shipping operations in Greece because that's where the expertise is (and lower salaries, rents, etc), even if the UK may have lower tonnage tax!
