The Executive Chairman of the BoD of ThPA S.A., Thanos Liagkos, stated: “We remain optimistic and focused on our strategic objective, which is to implement our investment plan while developing all business sectors of the Port of Thessaloniki, actively contributing to the development of our business partners and offering value to all stakeholders and society, while promoting sustainability. In early 2022, we signed the cooperation agreement with the Suez Canal Economic Zone, laying the foundation for joint initiatives that will enhance cargo and passenger flows between Egypt and Greece, such as the establishment of a maritime line for perishable goods and bulk cargo and the development of cruise business. Moreover, our continuous promotion of Thessaloniki as an ideal cruise destination is expected to create an impressive growth in the cruise sector with 62 confirmed cruise ship arrivals scheduled to take place in 2022, compared to 17 arrivals in 2021. We also expect the enhancement of ferry connectivity, over and above the existing ferry routes that the Port of Thessaloniki has with the North Aegean, Cyclades and Sporades islands”.
