As I come from the island of Samos it was a very good opportunity for me to publish the needs of the residents of the islandic areas and try to contribute the least to the solution of their problems. The accomplishment of the Thesis would not have been possible without the support and help of the people I would like to mention here. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to my supervising professor Dr. Konstantinos Chlomoudis whose help during the Thesis was valuable. Also, I would like to thank Mr. Petros Kostagiolas for his patience and guidance. W ithout his help the Thesis would not have been completed. Furthermore, i would like to thank Mr. George Koulikas from the port authority of Port of Samos for providing me the statistical data and special thanks to all the experts that participated in the Delphic Method and gave their scientific opinion. Finally I would like to thank my friends Christos, Chris, John and Lefteris for helping me and supporting me not only during the Thesis period but also during my studies in Rotterdam. - 3 - Abstract /ive years after the liberalization of maritime transport in the majority of the Greek domestic routes (removal of cabotage) and the abolition of the age limit applying to vessels, the Greek ferry transport system is characterized by several major problems.

Piccole Cicladi
PICCOLE CICLADI ANO e KATO KOUFONISSI, IRAKLIA, SKINOUSSA e DONOUSSA Ano Koufonissi La guida è stata realizzata grazie alla collaborazione di: Adriano Birolo, Cerfogli Gianni, Lorenzo Interbartolo, Enrico Pallini, Wanda Bennati, Claudia e Enrico Petrignani, Alessio e Ilaria, Giuseppe, Alberto e Monica Baratta, Francesco Pastorelli e Cora Ciampolini. Fa parte delle "Eremonissia" o meglio conosciute " Piccole Cicladi", un arcipelago situato fra IOS, AMORGOS e NAXOS, formato da sei piccole isole e qualche scoglio. Sebbene con i suoi 4,3 kmq sia l’isola più piccola e più piatta, Ano Koufonissi è diventata una delle mete turistiche più conosciute delle Cicladi. I circa 250 abitanti dell’isola sono impiegati quasi esclusivamente nel turismo e nella pesca (Koufonissi è considerato uno dei maggiori porti per la pesca, dopo Kalimnos e Fourni). DOV' E' Da Schinoussa, lo Scopelitis impiega circa 45 minuti per raggiungere il porto di Ano Koufonissi, poco riparato dalle tempeste. Collegamenti giornalieri con Iraklia (1h), Naxos (3h), Amorgos(3h), Dounussa (2h). 3 volte a settimana parte una nave per il Pireo (Romilda o Blue Star). Orari: www.gtp.gr che consigliamo di esplorare prima di partire. Gianni Cerfogli 2014: "Per i collegamenti stanno diventando sempre più usati i catamarani della Seajets, per la comodità degli orari, ma è carissimo e se il mare è mosso diventa molto spiacevole stare a bordo e addirittura può fermarsi in una certa isola senza completare la tratta. Il famigerato Skopelitis continua indomito le sue corse, ma un paio di volte al giorno arriva il mastodontico catamarano Highspeed (Cosmote) che provoca onde che immancabilmente sommergono i teli vicino alla riva".

COMPETITIVENESS in the COASTAL FERRY BOAT INDUSTRY: EVIDENCE from GREEK Smesa
COMPETITIVENESS IN THE COASTAL FERRY BOAT INDUSTRY: EVIDENCE FROM GREEK SMEsa Irene Fafaliou, University of Piraeus 80, Karaoli & Dimitriou Street, 185 34 Piraeus, Greece e-mail: [email protected]. Tel: + 30-210-4142157 Fax: + 30-210-4142328 Corresponding author Michael L. Polemis, Hellenic Competition Commission 1A, Kotsika Street & Patission Avenue, 104 34 Athens, Greece e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Greek maritime sector has dominated international markets for years. In recent years, however, relocation of ship building processes in other countries as well as intensification of competition has caused problems to the sector’s performance. In this paper, we focus our interest on the exploration of the Greek coastal ferry boat industry case by employing Porter’s competitive model of five forces. Our analysis indicates that Greek coastal ferry market is characterized by intense duality. The factors found to significantly affect this market’s performance and sustainability are: the regulatory framework, the competitive rivalry and the threat of substitute services. Keywords: coastal ferry boat industry; dual markets; alliances; small and medium sized enterprises, competitiveness; Greece I. INTRODUCTION Despite pressures due to global competition and the recent financial crises, Europe’s maritime industry still plays a crucial role to the Member States’ economic growth and European Union’s (EU) strategic position. The infrastructure of the European maritime transport, especially, is of vital importance for the achievement of both internal market and social cohesion (ICAP, 2008). Since 2002, the European Commission has issued a number of directives that seek to coordinate, among others, the activity of the coastal ferry operators; this fact particularly acknowledges the significance of maritime transport for economic advance and employment growth.
