Maritime Risk Context

In the last 180 days, ArcNautical recorded 19 vessel arrivals at Thessaloniki, with Cargo accounting for 22% of port calls — lower than the Mediterranean Sea regional average of 44%. Thessaloniki in Greece operates in a semi-enclosed basin that carries approximately 20% of global seaborne trade. The Suez Canal is the single most critical chokepoint for Mediterranean-bound shipping, and disruptions there — from groundings, Houthi-driven diversions, or political shocks — force vessels onto the Cape of Good Hope routing, adding 10–14 days and substantial fuel cost. Libya's ongoing instability creates an active maritime security concern in the central Mediterranean, with oil terminals periodically subject to militia control. PSC under the Paris MOU is among the most rigorous globally; vessels with deficiencies face detention rates well above the global average at Mediterranean ports.

Port State Control Context

Thessaloniki falls under the Paris MoU. The Paris Memorandum of Understanding does not publish a bulk per-vessel detention CSV. ArcNautical evaluates per-vessel detention probability using flag-state performance (3-year rolling rate from the 2024 Paris MoU annual report), vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership transparency. Paris MoU PSC inspections remain among the most rigorous globally.
