Introduction
The
Balkans form the crossroads between Europe and the Middle East. This makes
them a uniquely advantageous business center sitting at the confluence
of many of the major trade routes along which raw materials and manufactured
goods move between Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, and the Australia-Pacific
region. Romania is located at the heart of this vital area, and offers
the ideal transfer point between deep sea transport and shipment on inland
waterways for every kind of goods and commodities. The gateway to the
Danube is here, the water highway which links the Mediterranean and the
Black Sea directly with the North Sea via the river Rhine, and with all
major commercial and industrial centers on the European continent via
a highly developed and sophisticated system of navigable rivers and canals.
This, of course, is in addition to connections with all parts of the world
via the regular deep sea shipping lanes.
Background
and present
The
dramatic political changes which altered the face of Eastern Europe starting
in 1989 were the cause of profound economic transformation, resulting
in new markets and business opportunities and offering remarkable new
challenges to those eager and able to grasp them. Among the highlights
of the new business panorama in this vital and important part of the world
are the formerly state owned and now privatized large shipping lines and
huge industrial plants, as well as the newly created free zones. All these
offer exciting possibilities for gaining a foothold in this promising
area.
Activities
and Purpose
Having
been established in 1990, at the dawn of this new era, Poseidon
Shipping Ltd. has developed into one of the most influential companies
in the shipping industry in this part of the world. This is due to a new
and dynamic management philosophy and approach, which combines reliable
business connections with a body of company personnel bringing a wealth
of unique and difficult to match expertise and international experience
to the firm. Poseidon Shipping Ltd. is thus able to offer
its services to partners and clients in a variety of established fields,
and to initiate and develop new ideas and enterprises in a cooperative
format.
