Description
In July 2003, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs announced the final closure of the company 'Ippokambos', specialised on woodwork repairing of ships and boats. The closure of the company is the result of severe economic problems, but also cash flow problems and a reduced demand in the shipbuilding industry.
