Fujian Shipbuilding scouts around Greek yard Elefsina

A top delegation of China’s state-owned Fujian Shipbuilding Corp visited Greece last week in a move that may be linked with shipping giant Cosco’s plans to take over state-owned Piraeus port (OLP), one of the biggest ship terminals in the Mediterranean.

Fujian chairman Zhao Jinjie and a team of officials were in Greece and Romania to look for partnerships with machinery and equipment suppliers, Greek officials tell TradeWinds.
