Book and Scientific Article Abstracts
1. Α.J.Corres: “Interaction of World Shipbuilding and Freight Markets”, The City University,
Graduate Business Centre, PhD Thesis, February 1975.
Abstract: This is a pioneering attempt to examine the maritime sector as a functioning system
which is regulated by a mixture of internal and external factors. The thesis extends the concept of
elastic expectations first introduced by Zannetos and examines in depth the ways these systemically
affect the flow variables of the maritime system and, in turn, how these determine the supply of
ship transport services offered. The analysis diverts from the classical two dimensional economic
analysis to introduce time/space considerations in demand/supply interaction.

A.J.E Corres: “The Greek Maritime Labourforce” IOBE, Foundation for Economic and
Industrial Research, Athens, 1978.
Abstract: This is the first and only integrated scientific piece of work on the Greek Maritime Labour
which has been made possible by the tripartite cooperation between the Institute of Economic and
Industrial Research of Athens, the Union of Greek Shipowners and the Greek Ministry of Merchant
Marine. Its conclusions have been used by many economic planners in the maritime and related
economic fields in Greece and abroad and since ten years it is out of print. The study has included
the first, and sole so far, virtual census of the ship staff personnel which was performed through a
customized software package developed at the time under the guidance of IOBE using the
resources of the Ministry’s data on seamen and officers.
3. Alkis John Corres and Harilaos N. Psaraftis: “A Generic Ship for the Short Sea Trades of the
EU” paper presented to the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, Athens 2005.
Abstract: The Union of Mediterranean Trading Shipowners of Greece with the technical assistance
of ICEPRONAV of Romania have developed a generic ship type that can be constructed in such
ways to serve the needs of a wide spectrum of transportation requirements, while ensuring
significant economies for the builder in series. The need for this exercise has arisen in the context of
ESYAN where clustering of various ship types around the six thousand tons mark had to be taken
advantage of in a way to generate scale economies for both, the owners and the builders. While
no serious technical innovation is involved, this type of application is novel and offers
measurable savings in identifiable areas of the construction. If the matter of the replacement of the
Greek Short Sea Fleet is seen as part of the overall strategy of Greece in the post cabotage era of
the EU, a large number of such vessels are expected to be built. This paper describes the rationale
behind this project and discusses the opportunities and challenges to promote it.

‘’A.J.Corres and J.N.Thanopoulos:” Shipping Economics: Theory and Entrepreneurship in the
Era of Quality” Interbooks, Athens 2005.
Abstract: This book rides in the middle of the roadbetween economic theory, as applicable to
maritime transport, and contemporary ship management. The main areas it covers are those of the
function of the freight and other markets, the role of the regulatory framework and the implications
of its continuous changes, the main tools used in quality management, insights in the esoterics of
maritime corporate governance, business strategy and a spherical examination of the concept of
competitiveness in shipping.
5. Alkis John Corres – Athanasios Pallis:“ Explicit versus Customary Ethical Codes in Shipping”
International Conference in Memoriam of Professor Basil Metaxas, Cephalonia – Greece,
September 2006.
Abstract: Custom based rules and regulations have been used for centuries in shipping. However,
recent practice appears to favour codes of regulation of prescriptive nature which, unlike the former,
need to prove their acceptance over a longer period. The paper examines in some length the merits
of either side and draws tentative conclusions in the light of absence of empirical or judicial records
in connection with explicit rules-making.

Transport Economics Series Νο 21,London: Elsevier. ISBN-978-0-7623-1449-2 “Greek
maritime policy and the discreet role of shipowners’ associations.” Chapter 13, Elsevier
Transport Series, London, 2007.
Abstract: The success of Greek shipowners in merchant shipping has created a cloud of mystery
about the reasons behind this phenomenon. The most frequently suggested reason is the natural
flair of the Greek officers and seamen, which has developed over the centuries of living next to the
sea. Though the drive and talent of the Greek seamen is not disputed, there are obviously other
factors at play when it comes to explaining this success. The question asked in this chapter is, what
the shipowners' associations' roles in Greece have been and how influential these stakeholders'
interest groups have been in shipping policy formation. This chapter attempts to examine several
aspects of the above question, aiming to shed light on the success of Greek owners in merchant
shipping. Though the title of this chapter focuses on the role of the shipowners' associations,
discussion is not solely limited to their roles. With this opportunity, the analysis provides an insight
of what has been going on in the various sectors of Greek-owned shipping, thus adding to the
analyses undertaken in other relevant chapters of this book.
7. Alkis John Corres – Athanasios Pallis:“Inquiry into the Quality of Registers” World Maritime
University Magazine, 2008.
Abstract: Based on data available in mid-2006, the five cooperating international institutions of
shipping - BIMCO, Intertanko, Intercargo, ICS, and ISF -produced a summary of factual information
on 106 flag states. The institutions have intentionally avoided drawing any conclusions on
underperformance. The paper deepens this assessment allowing for an in-depth empirical
assessment of flags performance. To that end, the analysis uses weight factors reflecting the
importance that an operator might wish to attach on the different variables before making his flag
choice, and seeks to statistically (un)group 'conventionally' grouped flag states performance. The
paper also examines whether IMO membership and/or active participation in the IMO is associated
with a greater compliance of a flag-state to safety and relevant environment rules and thus to a
better performance. The findings challenge the classic outright categorization of national flags as
good performing ones and of commercial flags as those performing badly. The findings also
support the suggestion that an active IMO participation, rather than a simple membership, enhances
flag performance.

Abstract: Novel industry-wide review of the infrastructure characteristics of that sector in Greece
followed by an assessment of its contribution to the welfare of the local communities around the
