The Greek Maritime Chamber (N.E.E.), led by President Giorgos Alexandratos, emphasizes the significant contribution of small and medium-sized maritime enterprises to the Greek shipping ecosystem. In a statement, the Chamber outlines its targeted initiatives designed to provide support for these businesses, which are crucial for maintaining competitiveness in the maritime sector. The importance of these enterprises is underscored as they help form the backbone of Greece's shipping industry.

Among the initiatives launched by the N.E.E. is the development of the MARINE Cyber Security Framework aimed at enhancing the cybersecurity practices of small and medium-sized enterprises in the maritime field. Additionally, the issuance of the Hellenic Chamber of Shipping Guide to ESG Reporting offers practical guidance on sustainability and corporate governance, equipping businesses with the necessary tools to navigate these increasingly vital areas.

Furthermore, the initiative Maritime Hellas is being established to create a dynamic hub for outreach and business networking. This effort aims to ensure that smaller companies have access to the resources and support they need to remain competitive and actively contribute to the ongoing development of Greek shipping, which is essential for the economic stability and growth of the nation.
