China, Greece continue maritime relationship

China, Greece continue maritime relationship    China and Greece are ramping up their maritime cooperation by signing a memorandum of understanding in the sector, according to a Dow Jones report Tuesday.
   China's state-owned COSCO Group last year took over management of a major container terminal complex in the Athenian port of Piraeus, while Greek ship owners are expected to place orders for 15 dry bulk vessels with Chinese shipyards (though these deals were outside the scope of the MOU, the report said). China is also expected to invest heavily in commercial property in the Port of Athens.
