Regulating and Financing Greek Ports

Athanasios Pallis and Georgios Vaggelas

Chapter Chapter 14 in Regulation and Finance in the Port Industry, 2022, pp 237-253 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A long-lasting reform period of the Greek port system has already resulted in the privatization of the country’s two major seaports, Piraeus and Thessaloniki, while the shareholding sales and concessions for the remaining ten ports operating as Societe Anonymes owned by the State are either initiated or planned. The Greek port governance scheme is subject to further structural changes. The chapter discusses port (d)evolution in Greece, analysing key port data and the core features of the current port system. It does so focusing on the financial aspect of Greek ports, in the light of the ongoing transformation process. In particular it examines the financial tools available for Greek ports, discussing the impact of the recent economic crisis on port throughput and port investment financing options as well as the role of the private sector in port investments and governance in Greece.
