It is noted that the company “Lavrio Port Authority SA” (ALL SA) has the exclusive right to use and exploit the grounds, buildings and facilities of the Lavrio Port, through a Concession Agreement concluded with the Greek State with a duration of 60 years from its entry into force (valid until the year 2062).

The duration of the concession contract may be extended and, if a relevant decision is taken, it will be announced on the TAIPED website, before the publication of the Request for Binding Offers from the investors who will qualify for the B΄ Phase of the tender process.

The port of Lavrio is the third largest port of Attica and, due to its proximity to popular tourist destinations, Eleftherios Venizelos Airport as well as the ports of Piraeus and Rafina, it is particularly suitable for tourism development, with activities such as cruising and yacht mooring.
