shipowners who had lost vessels as a result of those vessels having been commandeered by the allied forces the insurance had been provided by lloyd s of london and guaranteed by the coalition of the allied forces although greek shipowners ultimately won their case against the greek government in the british courts most were uninterested in continuing to base their headquarters in piraeus both out of distrust of the greek government and because the war had left the greater athens area in a state of severe poverty as a result greece s shipowners left piraeus en masse in favour of operations in london new york alexandria and other major shipping cities today the port of piraeus ranks 7th in europe and the 1st in the mediterranean in terms of teus transported through it each year 39 40 1967 military junta edit further information greek military junta of 1967 1974 in 1967 when a group of colonels staged a coup d état against the government in order to increase desperately needed revenues the junta offered lavish incentives for greek shipowners to bring their companies back to piraeus this included both tax incentives and other inducements as highlighted by the fact that aristotle onassis was allowed to purchase the entire island of skorpios which otherwise would have been a violation of greek coastline laws 1974 democratic government edit this section does not cite any sources

in 1974 the successive democratic government generally maintained the deregulation of greek based shipping and many shipowners have maintained commercial operations there since today however as a result of traffic congestion plaguing the athens area and the fact that most shipowners reside in the lavish northern suburbs of athens many shipowners have opted once again to move their bases away
