The US produces liquefied natural gas and the Greek fleet, the world’s most powerful, is able to ship it the world over, said Maritime Affairs and Island Policy Minister Vassilis Kikilias, visiting Washington on Wednesday.
The Greek minister had a series of important meetings with US government officials and members of Congress during the first day of his visit to the American capital.
The minister met with the secretary of the interior and head of the US National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC), Doug Burgum, following the latter’s recent visit to Greece.
The meeting came as a direct follow-up to what was discussed just a week ago, was entirely oriented toward producing immediate results, and constituted another milestone in the deepening of the strategic cooperation between Greece and the US in the shipbuilding and maritime sector, where Greek-owned shipping, given its primacy, can offer much at a highly important juncture for the US shipbuilding industry.
