[01] Govt to open offers for port of Piraeus on Tuesday
The Greek government on Tuesday will open financial offers submitted
in a tender to buy 67 pct of the Piraeus Port Authority, a process
characterized as the its biggest challenge so far in terms of an
ambitious privatization programme.
Despite the fact that Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund has not
published the number of binding offers submitted with Morgan Stanley in
London, merchant shipping ministry sources told ANA-MPA that the only
bid submitted to the Fund was by Chinese multinatoinal Cosco, while the
other candidate, Denmark-based Maersk, is reportedly more interest in
the northern port of Thessaloniki, with binding offers expected to be
submitted in three months.
