Piraeus Port Authority completes upgrade works at ship repair zone

Piraeus Port Authority (PPA) has announced the completion of large-scale infrastructure upgrade works at the eastern side of Pier II at the Perama Ship Repair Zone in Greece.

The works are part of the second phase of a broader infrastructure improvement project in the Perama ship repair zone involving among others a complete platform replacement.

In particular, the first ship to berth at the new pier, experiencing the upgraded services, was welcomed by the relevant PPA department.

At the same time, works are already in progress on parts of the West side of Pier II and the East side of Pier I for the installation of two new Jib Cranes at the beginning of 2023 that are scheduled for delivery to the port authority.

The maintenance works at the Piraeus I floating dock were both started and completed during the second half of 2022. According to the Piraeus Port Authority, the systematic enhancement projects and the targeted investments at the Perama Ship Repair Zone have already led to the desired outcomes.

PPA chairman, Yu Zenggang commented, “PPA’s aim was the provision of upgraded ship repair and maintenance services for all companies active in the industry. More importantly, the ship repair zone is an important new job generator, positively boosting the local economy. The €55 million (US$59 million) in relevant mandatory investment projects are gradually advancing as planned, injecting a strong impetus into the local ship repair industry, towards transforming the Port of Piraeus into a significant regional ship repair hub.”
