The Greek prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, visited the port of Thessaloniki on Tuesday to be updated on the progress of ThPA S.A.’s investment program, as well as on the implementation of the pier 6 expansion project, the most significant private investment in Northern Greece in recent years.
During his tour of the port’s facilities, the prime minister visited the pier 6 construction site, where he observed the progress of the works firsthand. In accordance with the port authority, the expansion of pier 6 will enable more than a doubling of container capacity, from approximately 500,000 to up to 1,500,000 teu annually.
The prime minister was also briefed on the project’s multiplier effects on both regional and national development, as highlighted in Deloitte’s socio-economic impact study.
