Piraeus port floating dock resumes operations after major upgrade

Piraeus Port Authority (PPA S.A.) has resumed full operations at the floating dock “Piraeus II” in the Perama ship repair zone, following the completion of a series of extensive repair and maintenance works.

The dry-docking operations were carried out as part of a special survey and were concluded with the issuance of a new five-year operational certificate by the relevant classification society.

In line with the renewed docking program, the first docking at the floating dock “Piraeus II” has already been completed, involving the passenger/vehicle vessel Poseidon, marking the dock’s return to operation and its re-entry into the ship repair sector.

The upgrade of this dock, measuring 113 meters in length, 18.5 meters in internal width, and offering a lifting capacity of 4,000 tons, with the ability to accommodate vessels with a carrying capacity of up to 7,000 tons, is included in the broader set of developmental interventions.
