UGS主席梅丽娜·特拉洛斯坚持认为，希腊需要一个强大的国家注册，因为国旗代表着国际论坛上最大的航运力量，不仅应该保持，而且应该加强其动态。

为了实现这一目标，需要采取更多措施鼓励新的现代化船舶进入国家注册。在2023年的前两个月，有7艘远洋船只悬挂了希腊国旗，3艘散货船，2艘油轮和3艘液化天然气运输船。在2022年同期，有8艘船只升起了希腊国旗。

然而，Travlos表示，为了加强希腊的注册，它应该进一步现代化，变得更有竞争力。Travlos在最近的UGS年度大会上强调：“UGS的建议是众所周知、有据可查而且现实的。我们不能再浪费时间了。我们正在朝着这个方向努力。”

她说，加强登记与保护希腊海事传统密不可分。特拉夫洛斯说：“我们有责任共同努力，海事界和国家团结一致，朝着这个方向努力。只有用一个声音，我们才能维护和促进我们国家的航海事业，至少在数量上扭转其衰落趋势。需要一个国家行动计划，而不是个别的、零碎的举措，那样会造成混乱，使问题恶化。”

她说:“希腊航运业的实力及其竞争优势在于我们船上和公司里的员工。”她呼吁提供训练有素、资质过硬的人力资源。

特拉弗洛斯说，在局势变得不可逆转之前，必须立即采取干预措施。“因此，我们有责任共同努力，海事界和国家，团结一致，朝着保护和促进我们国家的航海事业的方向努力，至少在数量上扭转其记录的下降趋势。

Travlos表示：“需要一个国家行动计划。”她呼吁所有相关人员“用他们的语言与我们的孩子们交谈。了解我们航运作为一个专业分支的战略优势，了解海事行业的前景和素质特点。”

在这种情况下，UGS是第一个以自己的象征性但又实质性的举措，表明其在航运业吸引年轻人方面的意图。

今年，UGS通过Syn Enosis“The UGS”的非营利社会贡献部门，为在希腊和国外学习的年轻男女提供了100个奖学金，包括博士后水平的研究生课程，完整的一年制或两年制学习。

UGS President, Melina Travlos insists Greece needs a strong national registry as the flag represents the largest shipping power in the international fora and should not only maintain, but should strengthen, its dynamics.

To achieve this more steps need to be taken to encourage the entry of new modern ships on the national register.  In the first two months of 2023, seven oceangoing ships raised the Greek flag, three bulk cargo ships, two tankers and three LNG carriers.  In the same period of 2022, eight ships raised the Greek flag.

However, for the Greek registry to be strengthened, Travlos said it should be further modernised and become even more competitive.  “The UGS‘s proposals are well-known, documented and realistic.  There is no more time to waste.  And we are working in this direction,” emphasised Travlos when addressing the recent UGS AGM.

She said strengthening the registry is inextricably linked to the preservation of the Greek maritime tradition.  “It is our responsibility to work together, the maritime community and the state, united, in this direction.  Only with one voice will we preserve and promote our nation’s seafaring to reverse its declining course, at least quantitatively.  A national action plan is needed and not individual, piecemeal initiatives, which create confusion and aggravation of the issue,” said Travlos.

“The strength of Greek shipping and its competitive advantage are its people on our ships and in its companies,” she said calling for a sufficiently trained and well-qualified human resource.

Travlos said immediate interventions are needed, before the situation becomes irreversible.  “It is our responsibility, therefore, to work together, the maritime community and the state, united, in the direction of preserving and promoting our nation’s seafaring, to reverse the declining course it records, at least quantitatively.

“A national action plan is needed,” according to Travlos and she called on all involved “to speak to our children in their language.  To understand the strategic advantage of our shipping, as a professional branch, to understand the prospects and quality characteristics of the maritime profession”

In this context, UGS is the first to give the stamp of its intentions regarding the attraction of young people in the shipping industry with a symbolic but also substantial initiative of its own.

This year, the UGS is granting 100 scholarships to young men and women for studies in Greece and abroad, in post-doctoral level postgraduate programs, full one-year or two-year studies, through Syn-Enosis’ the UGS’ non-profit social contribution arm.
