Upon entering the ship repair zone at the port of Piraeus, southern Greece, one could easily notice the immense floating dock painted in black and red and mirrored in the glossy Aegean Sea.
Not far from the giant dock is a much smaller old one, lying idle, rusty.
The "Piraeus 3" that arrived in March from Shanghai, eastern China, has greatly improved the capacity of the local ship repair business, a regional pillar industry hard hit in the debt crisis, according to Li Weina, general manager of the shipyard.
