The government and the Thessaloniki Port Authority
(ThPA) have come to an agreement to amend their concession agreement,
reflecting a mutual commitment to improving the port's operations and enhancing
collaboration. ThPA was privatized in March 2018, when it was transferred to
South Europe Gateway Thessaloniki (SEGT) Ltd, a consortium formed to manage the
port’s activities. This consortium consists of multiple stakeholders, including
private investors and international partners, which enables a more diversified
management approach to the port. Since its privatization, SEGT has focused on
modernizing the port facilities, increasing efficiency, and expanding services
to boost Thessaloniki's position as a key logistics and trade hub in the
region. The recent amendments to the concession agreement are aimed at
addressing specific operational challenges, fostering investment in
infrastructure, and improving service delivery. These changes are expected to
not only enhance the port's competitiveness but also support economic growth in
the surrounding area by facilitating greater trade and connectivity. The
partnership underscores the government's ongoing efforts to optimize
public-private collaboration in managing critical infrastructure.
