The cat and the dragon

摘要

Two months into her tenure as Greek minister of the economy, Louka Katseli has unveiled big plans for the country's shipping sector. She is determined to transform Greece from a maritime leader based on shipowning to an all-encompassing powerhouse.rnThis will provide the country with a new level of competition, not only on a global scale but also among its Mediterranean neighbours. Although not major ship-owning nations, Malta and Cyprus have developed a solid reputation as maritime service providers. It's an ambitious plan, and Katseli knows Greece will only be able to achieve its goals with help from abroad.
