I used to work for John Brademas (D. Indiana), the first Greek-American elected to Congress, and incidentally a very bright and decent man. (After his defeat in the 1970s, he served well and decently as President of NYU.) I once, before the 1970 election, watched him work the Greek ship owners on the phone... 😆😇🤣 I know of no untoward influence by any Greek ship owner -- but the fact that there is no American-flagged freight shipping industry is due entirely to the Jones Act, aka the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 -- which costs the American consumer untold hundreds of millions of dollars every year. This stupid piece of protectionism benefits a tiny number of American ship-owners, and basically extorts the populations of Hawaii and Alaska, and everybody else to a somewhat smaller degree. As for international shippers, who needs influence in Washington when you can move your ship to Panama with a paint brush?

[@sotossotos7901]

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.

Second, most of the "Greek" fleet isn't either registered in Greece neither operates from Greece. Most of Greek owners have their office in London. Braking sessions! LOOK IN TURKEY!!!

[@alexandercoro5309]

[@georgeiv6925]

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.

[@innosanto]

It was also during Russian Empire that Greeks assisted trade between Russia and Mediterranean but even before that. What rhey are doing by promoting trade is known by states and is wanted and used, the states are customers since global and knternational supply chains are important for economies and industry even when conflict and more so then. And hence now it is important to trade the oil foe energy tomeconomies and western customers are bying oil even during fight to promote expnomy and industry

[@Kevinjimtheone]

This is quite misleading, tbh. This has nothing to do with Greece. These are independent businesses, usually family owned, and also usually basically exempt from taxation in Greece. Not only that, some of them are criminals (see Marinakis). Finally, it makes sense they would ship the 2nd most Russian oil if they have a top-3 shipping fleet in the world.

I read a lot of nonsense here! Most countries have the tonnage tax system. Tonnage tax in Germany, Norway, UK, France, Netherlands is LOWER than the greek tonnage tax, plus, greek flagged vessels require at least 5 Greek crew members while these other flags do not! 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!

Meet The Greek Shipping Billionaires Getting Rich Off Russian Oil: this is definitely a title that does not describe what the research has shown. The shipping industry is strong in Greece because of historical, constitutional and decision-making reasons that this title completely omits. You could have told a better story, Forbes.

If it’s not illegal to move Russian oil as long as certain preconditions such as the price cap are met then what’s your problem? What’s the point of the story or the video. It’s a non story. Am sure if these people were doing anything illegal against western interests, the whole western system would have fallen on them . All it shows is that the embargo is useless. Turkey for example, does not apply any sanctions on Russia. The Greeks are not that stupid to let others into a business they dominate for decades, through hard work and the money they invest in their companies.

[@Nick33s88]

Yeah, and the global economy will collapse in 2 seconds. Greek shipowners control a very, very large share of international shipping
