Measures for Development of Patras Port
The Ministry of Mercantile Marine, The Aegean and Island Policy recently held discussions in Patras on the development plan of the city’s port. The ministry announced that the development plan of the port of Patras will be based on issues that concern the free access of citizens to the port and its integration into the life of the city. As for the completion of the new port of Patras, the ministry predicts that the first and second phase should be ready by 2010. The possibility that the project might be completed by late 2009 was not excluded.
