“Positive” September for the Port of Piraeus

Port of Piraeus presented an increase of 4,5% in container traffic in September, according to the monthly data published by COSCO Shipping Ports. In Q3, a decrease of 4,1% was recorded as well as a total decrease of 5,5% in the nine-month period.

In any case, the data of the last quarter of the year are expected with great interest as they will reveal the annual total loss that the port will have due to the consequences of the pandemic, as well as the dynamics that Piraeus maintains in relation to other rival Mediterranean ports.

Portsmouth Port Leads the Way in Covid-19 Readiness

By | 2020 Newsletter week 40 | No Comments

Portsmouth International Port says in a press release that it has become one of the first in the UK, recognised by independent assessors, for its new protocols to manage and reduce the risk of COVID-19 infections.

Portsmouth is a major transport hub, with passenger sailings now operating again between France and Spain, and its continued role as a lifeline route for the Channel Islands. The port had to quickly adopt government safety measures to protect both staff and customers.

Andrew Williamson, passenger operations manager said: “Our aim was to give passengers confidence that the new preventative measures we have put into place are of the highest standard, and to highlight the benefits of international travel by sea. This verification from DNV GL provides further reassurance about the efforts we are taking to keep them safe.”

Port of Piraeus PPA Weathers the Covid Storm Pretty Well

By | 2020 Newsletter week 40 | No Comments
  • -5.8% turnover EUR 66.5 million (70.6)
  • -4.7% profit before tax EUR 20.9 million (21.9)
  • -2.2% earning after taxes EUR 15.5 million (15.9)

This change is mainly due to the significant reduction of revenues from:

  • the cruise sector EUR 3.7 million,
  • the revenues of the Coastal Shipping sector by EUR 1.6 million
  • the revenues from the Car Terminal by EUR 2.2 million

The above decrease was mainly counterbalanced by an increase in revenues at the Container Terminal and revenues from the Ship Repair sector.

Port of Piraeus: Small Losses and 4th Place Amongst the Top-15 European Ports

By | 2020 Newsletter week 34 | No Comments

According to the recent data from Porteconomics.eu, the port of Piraeus is ranked 4th among the top 15 ports in Europe despite the pandemic. In the first semester of 2020, the handling of containers in the largest port of Greece decreased only by 6.2%, compared to 2019. That figure reveals that the largest Greek port shows significantly better yields compared to other ports controlled by the Chinese COSCO as it seems to have withstood the strong shocks of the first wave of the pandemic in March and June.

On the other hand, regardless of the fluctuations of traffic as reflected for the port of Piraeus and the other fourteen ports in the data, Piraeus continues to claim one of the first three places in the ranking and consequently a better position in the world ranking under conditions related to infrastructure, the construction of the 4th pier as well as the railway project.
