%X We presented the business lives of 13 Greek-owned Shipping Companies. The aim was to reveal their strategies since their foundation. This is a small sample from a greater number of about 150 companies. We compared their strategies with those suggested by Management. We found that the majority of the companies were afraid of 4 situations: 1) to proceed to new shipbuildings, 2) the premature death of their owner, 3) the Stock Exchanges&#8217; taking-over and 4) the shipping depressions. We distinguished the companies by their growth and underlined those that &#8220;made Greece a great shipping Nation again after its 2<sup>nd</sup> WW&#8221; almost total destruction.
