The northwestern port of Igoumenitsa, on the Greek mainland opposite the island of Corfu, handles a large portion of maritime traffic to Italy.
Binding bids were submitted by passenger shipper Attica Group in alliance with Aktor construction firm; Italy’s Grimaldi Euromed and Minoan Lines; and the already private Thessaloniki Port Authority.
The bids will be opened at a subsequent meeting of the board of TAIPED, Greece’s privatization agency.
