Lavrio port draws investors
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The port of Lavrio has become a major attraction for many companies as the completion of the new modern port station and the port works, the close distance from the Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos" and the easy access to "Attiki Odos" along with the imminent extension of the urban railway have offered extrovertive characteristics aiming at the creation of additional facilities to the port and the economic development of the wider area.
Speaking to ANA-MPA, the President of Lavrio port Aristidis Vitsios noted that the redevelopment works and the maintenance of the existing facilities along with the completion of the master plan until the end of the year will allow the total utilization and development of the land and sea facilities.
The delay of urban railway's arrival to Lavrio is the only obstacle for shipping companies to operate in the specific port, decongesting the traffic in Piraeus port, Vitsios said adding that 23 cruiseships docked at Lavrio carrying 23,448 tourists in 2014.
