Greek shipping industry needs to consider renewing its fleet with energy efficient ships to comply with the new IMO\u00a0rules, EEXI and CII as well as EU Fit for 55 package which set a target of reducing GHG emission by at least 55% by\u00a02030.\u00a0Meadway Shipping & Trading (MST), one of the fastest growing Greek shipping companies has already exceeded\u00a0those environmental targets by operating a young energy efficient fleet with an average age of about six years.
\nMeadway Shipping is headed by Costas Delaportas, the son of the late Dionysios Delaportas who set up the company\u00a0in 1988. Costas proved his visionary and intuitive ability from the early years of his career in shipping.
\nBack in 2011 Costas took the initiative to establish Meadway Sh ipping Singapore and Meadway Shipping DMCC in\u00a0Dubai which are involved in operating dry bulk cargoes and vessels all over the world.
\nThese activities are quite profitable for the interests of the group despite the initial difficulties that were presented\u00a0due to the bad dry cargo market of that period.
