Igoumenitsa awards tender to a consortium


The bidding process is over and a consortium has won. It is made up of Grimaldi Euromed, Minoan Lines Shipping, and Investment Construction Commercial & Industrial, and they will now thus acquire a 67% stake in the share capital of Greece’s Igoumenitsa Port Authority. Their offer is worth EUR 84.17 million.

The concession relating to the port of Igoumenitsa (owned by the Igoumenitsa Port Authority) includes the right to use and manage the assets of the gateway, the fishing shelters of Sagiada and Plataria and the yacht shelter of Syvota. Igoumenitsa is the main port of the region of Epirus and well-laced for connections between mainland Greece and the rest of Europe.

Grimaldi Group managing director Emanuele Grimaldi said that “Grimaldi has long been the port’s main customer. This acquisition of a majority share is part of a broader strategy of vertical integration.”

The group operates various Grimaldi Lines and Minoan Lines services connecting Igoumenitsa to the Italian ports of Ancona and Brindisi, mainly dedicated to the transport of rolling freight, cars and passengers. (sh)
