In an era where the Eastern Mediterranean is becoming a field of intense geopolitical competition and the concept of national security is being redefined through technology, industry and naval power, Greece is attempting to regain a role that goes beyond the narrow limits of the observer. In this new environment, the shipbuilding industry is not simply a productive sector, but a tool of strategic dominance.

After 15 years, the advanced Syncrolift ship lifting system at ONEX’s Syros Shipyards has been reactivated, enhancing the maintenance, repair, retrofit and shipbuilding capabilities of floating vessels.

Development Minister Takis Theodorikakos on Wednesday said that 'made in Greece' must become the "ultimate success story" of the shipbuilding and ship repair industry, while addressing the anniversary event "700 ships - A vision" organised by ONEX at the Elefsina Shipyards.
