The latest evaluation of the World Bank, in terms of the efficiency of the logistics sector and the Supply Chain, raised Greece to 19th place in 2023 from 42nd place in 2018.
According to the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Mr. Michalis Papadopoulos, the successful strategy for the supply chain implemented by the competent Government Committee, resulted in the climbing of our country.
The National Supply Strategy focuses on 4 main axes, as Mr. Papadopoulos emphasizes.
The 4 axes
– Upgrading the infrastructure, with peaks in the creation of new freight centers such as Thriasio I&II, the largest transit center in Southeast Europe in Fyli and the former Gonou camp in Thessaloniki, but also the connection of the railway to ports and industrial areas.
– Digital transformation, with initiatives such as the participation of the Ministry of Transport in the co-financed project FENIX, which is the pan-European digital information network in transport and logistics.
– Sustainable and Green Logistics, with the aim of reducing the environmental footprint of the sector.
– Improving the level of education of professionals in the sector.
“Our goal is for Greece to offer value-added services to the supply chain and to become a gateway for cargo passing through the Suez Canal bound for Europe. Our country is now in the “club” of 20 countries that offer the most efficient services in the field of supply chain around the world.
The progress that has already been made is the foundation to go even higher, making Greece one of the top ten countries with the most efficient logistics services at the end of this decade. We will continue in the same direction, with a vision, a plan and an organized strategy, developing synergies with the sector’s bodies and exploiting the possibilities offered by the now upgraded participation of the homeland in all European organizations, in order to further strengthen Greece’s position as hub of international transport”, emphasizes Mr. Papadopoulos.
