It also stressed the need for greater transparency and information sharing between authorities.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">“Defending freedom of navigation therefore requires a focused and coordinated response grounded in globally recognized rules,” the group said.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">The 18 nations also called on maritime countries to support freedom of navigation and international maritime frameworks.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">The CSG warned that further fragmentation could increase the risk of disruption at major maritime chokepoints.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">“As the closure of the Strait of Hormuz demonstrates: When shipping supply chains fragment, the global economy fragments with it,” the group said.</p> <p class="isSelectedEnd">The Consultative Shipping Group includes Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.</p> <p>Together, the CSG countries represent around 20% of global deadweight tonnage.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://container-news.com/18-shipping-nations-warn-of-structural-shift-in-global-maritime-trade/">18 shipping nations warn of structural shift in global maritime trade</a> appeared first on <a href="https://container-news.com">Container News</a>.</p> Piraeus Container Terminal secures Certified Receiver Licence https://container-news.com/piraeus-container-terminal-secures-certified-receiver-licence/ Antonia Saratsopoulou Thu, 10 Sep 2026 04:00:17 +0000 Port News Top Right CONTAINER TERMINALS COSCO Shipping COSCO SHIPPING PORTS customs GREECE Intermodal Transport LOGISTICS PCT Piraeus Container Terminal PORT OF PIRAEUS Rail Freight https://container-news.com/?p=179444 <a href="https://container-news.com/piraeus-container-terminal-secures-certified-receiver-licence/" title="Piraeus Container Terminal secures Certified Receiver Licence" rel="nofollow"><img width="300" height="200" src="https://container-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1788936324359-300x200.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="Piraeus Container Terminal" style="float: left; margin-right: 5px;" link_thumbnail="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://container-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1788936324359-300x200.jpg 300w, https://container-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1788936324359-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://container-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1788936324359-150x100.jpg 150w, https://container-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1788936324359-768x512.jpg 768w, https://container-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1788936324359-630x420.jpg 630w, https://container-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1788936324359-696x464.jpg 696w, https://container-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1788936324359-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https://container-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1788936324359-240x160.jpg 240w, https://container-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/1788936324359.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p>Piraeus Container Terminal (PCT) has obtained a Certified Receiver Licence from the Greek Customs Authority, according to COSCO SHIPPING Europe.
