Rhodes: 10% of the accommodation capacity is affected by the fires

The tourism of Rhodes received a big blow in the heart of the summer season due to the fire that has been burning for six days in the south-eastern end of the island. As market players point out, a domino of cancellations is expected in hotel and room rental reservations in the next few days, although until yesterday tourists were still arriving on the island from European countries.

Greek Shipping: Fleet increased, number of shipping companies decreased

The Greek-owned fleet increased in ships and capacity, while the number of shipping companies decreased slightly, according to the Petrofin Research report released a while ago. In particular, as noted, all vessel types and sizes increased by 2.8%, with their number reaching 6,409 vessels at the end of 2022 from 6,123 in 2021. Consequently, the average size of the Greek-owned fleet decreased to 72.5 thousand tons DWT.
