BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

An ongoing port workers strike in Greece is significantly affecting cruise ship operators in the nation, reported The Maritime Executive.

Port workers are protesting the sale of Port of Piraeus to shipping giant China Ocean Shipping (Group) Co. Cruise ship operators are worried that the strike will have a lasting impact on the sector. "If they keep striking, we are expecting a €10 million ($11 million) impact on our business in Piraeus only for June," said Theodoros Kontes, head of the Greek cruise ship owners association.
