The 2013 Import and Export Market for Ships, Boats, and Other Vessels Excluding Pleasure Craft, Tugs, Pusher Craft, Special Purpose Vessels, and Vessels for Breaking Up in Greece

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on ships, boats, and other vessels excluding pleasure craft, tugs, pusher craft, special purpose vessels, and vessels for breaking up in Greece face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying ships, boats, and other vessels excluding pleasure craft, tugs, pusher craft, special purpose vessels, and vessels for breaking up to Greece? How important is Greece compared to others in terms of the entire global and regional market? How much do the imports of ships, boats, and other vessels excluding pleasure craft, tugs, pusher craft, special purpose vessels, and vessels for breaking up vary from one country of origin to another in Greece? On the supply side, Greece also exports ships, boats, and other vessels excluding pleasure craft, tugs, pusher craft, special purpose vessels, and vessels for breaking up. Which countries receive the most exports from Greece? How are these exports concentrated across buyers? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? This report was created for strategic planners, international marketing executives and import/export managers who are concerned with the market for ships, boats, and other vessels excluding pleasure craft, tugs, pusher craft, special purpose vessels, and vessels for breaking up in Greece. With the globalization of this market, managers can no longer be contented with a local view. Nor can managers be contented with out-of-date statistics which appear several years after the fact. I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for ships, boats, and other vessels excluding pleasure craft, tugs, pusher craft, special purpose vessels, and vessels for breaking up for those countries serving Greece via exports, or supplying from Greece via imports. It does so for the current year based on a variety of key historical indicators and econometric models.
