Key Developments and Growth in Greek Ship-Finance June 2020 By Ted Petropoulos, Head, Petrofin Research ©. Petrofin Research© presents, for the 19th year running, an overview and an in-depth analysis of the bank loan portfolios to Greek shipping, as of 31st December 2019. Petrofin wish to thank all participating banks for their steadfast support, without which this research would not have been possible. The portfolios show both the shipping loans outstanding, as well as loans committed but undrawn. The committed but undrawn loans may be viewed as an indication of each bank’s ship lending momentum and / or the extent of its involvement in newbuilding finance. Contents 1. Main Findings p. 2 2.
