Greece ranks among top three global shipping powers

·

Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty, the global shipping industry remains resilient as it enters the second half of 2025, protothema.gr, has reported. According to the latest figures from VesselsValue, the value of shipping assets continues to stay high, driven by sustained demand for modern vessels and a limited supply of new ships.

China holds the top position among the world’s leading shipping nations, with a fleet valued at $271 billion, underscoring its expanding influence in global trade and shipbuilding. Japan follows in second place with a fleet worth $230 billion, reflecting its longstanding strength in the maritime sector.

Greece ranks third, boasting a fleet valued at $183 billion, reaffirming its dominant role in the global tanker and bulk carrier markets.

The United States comes in fourth, with a fleet valued at $116.5 billion, notable for the wide range of its shipping operations.
