The European Investment Bank (EIB) agreed to provide the Port of Piraeus with 140 million euros to boost the port’s plans on expansion and upgrade, the largest loan that the country has been ever provided, that will support the implementation of part of investments at the Port of Piraeus in a total investment plan of more than 600 million euros.

Specifically, the 20-year loan was inked in Athens, in the presence of Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Xu Lirong, Chairman of COSCO Shipping Corporation, by Andrew McDowell, European Investment Bank Vice President, the Chairman of Piraeus Port Authority S.A. Yu Zenggang and Athanasios Liagkos, Board Member of the Piraeus Port Authority S.A.

The investment will be used for the development of a new port logistics centre, construction of a new cruise passenger handling facility, expansion of car shipping facilities, an improved ship repair area and the upgrade of the container terminal.

Moreover, the investment will bring economic growth and job creation in the country, while also reduce transport costs and boost the cruise tourism and shipping.
