PORTS (1998-2016)

Obviously no set of papers, or research projects, can match my stint as port of Piraeus CEO (8/1996-3/2002). This was really a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For more on this, see HERE. I wrote ZERO papers during my time there, some 5 and a half years. However, I managed to write some port-related papers after I left the port, and even got a port-related EU project, plus two port-related projects, all at NTUA:

·       “Tools and Routines to Assist Ports and Improve Shipping – TRAPIST project” (May 2002-April 2005). Commission of European Communities, Directorate General for Transport and Energy -Transport Research Programme (multi-partner project, Leader: Nautical Enterprise Centre Ltd.).

·       “Programme Agreement with Port of Thira,” service contract funded by Municipality of Thira (Santorini) (November 2008- November 2012).

·       “Programme Agreement with Port of Kos on the relocation of the commercial port” service contract funded by Municipality of Kos, June 2009-June 2010.

I also worked as a consultant (Rogan Associates) on a port project in Cyprus (port of Vassiliko master plan). See paper No. 11 below. Plus, I was a member of a peer review panel, port of Venice (Italy) (2009-2010).

In addition to these, several other papers/book chapters are connected with ports, and can be found in other research categories. See for instance the paper that investigates transshipment hub relocation in the context of the EU ETS (paper No. 69 in the maritime emissions section).
