Ariston Shipping’s exit from the Athens Stock Exchange — announced last week by its parent company, Revoil — could be seen as a requiem to the Greek bourse’s long-faded ambition to become a ship-financing venue for local shipowners.
Ariston, a dry bulk player controlled by Greece’s Roussos family, was the last Oceangoing Shipping Investment Company (known as EEPNs, after their Greek acronym) registered on the Greek stock exchange, according to available bourse records.
