This year’s Posidonia and its outcome will keep us busy for a long time, certainly less than the time it took to be eventually organized!
It’s taken four long years since the last event of 2018, with the pandemic playing a catalytic role, despite
the organizers’ ambitious efforts and the wishful desire of the shipping community. Four years later, the world of shipping and those that operate around it, gave a great presence.
Almost 18% increase in the number of visitors who together with exhibitors reached 40,000 people in total. Judging by the 7% increase in the exhibitors’ space, indeed there was a significant interest in participation.
Within a week a small state was built and everyone smiled their best to welcome their guests. And by all accounts, as if there was some secret pact, the visitors came smiling too! They were happy to see you, to shake your hand, to learn what’s new and how you managed during the pandemic and to declare their interest in new collaborations.
Stop traditionally takes part in every Posidonia event.
We collaborate with the majority of Greek shipping companies, with a significant number of international organizations,
we hold important partnerships with companies and organizations active in the field, so for us it was a great opportunity to gain back the closeness an event has to offer and the pandemic deprived.
Indeed, it was a great pleasure for us to welcome old friends and colleagues, to make new acquaintances
and important discussions for new partnerships. We had a lot to talk about and showcase.
New facilities – The project is proceeding rapidly and by the end of 2022 Stop’s new warehouse will be
