A new car transport service, which provides for special platforms that have been certified and can stack vehicles to a height of three containers, was launched by PPA together with COSCO SHIPPING SPECIALIZED CARRIERS CO.LTD.

The new service concerns the transport in special containers, with a capacity of 3 vehicles, called Flat Rack, equipped with built-in ramps for easier transport and positioning of the vehicles.

The strategic position of the port between the three continents and therefore between multiple markets, the integrated services provided and above all the high quality of services of the container terminals, but also the presence of the COSCO SHIPPING group were the main factors that contributed decisively to choosing the port of Piraeus as a key transit hub in this major business project.

On December 21, 2022, the first shipload of cars arrived in Piraeus, which were unloaded at the container station to then be transferred to the car terminal in order to be driven to their final destinations.

The President of PPA SA Mr. Yu Zenggang, expressed his particular satisfaction at the start of an additional important activity within the port, stressing that once again the great value of synergy is proven, which is a necessary condition and creates the conditions for achieving remarkable results with significant economies of scale and benefits to all stakeholders.

As one of the core members of China COSCO SHIPPING Corporation Limited Company, COSCO SHIPPING Specialized Carriers Co., Ltd. (COSCO SHIPPING Specialized for short) specializes in the operations and management of more than one hundred vessels, including multi-purpose vessels and heavy cargo vessels, semi-submersible vessels, pure vehicle carriers, log carriers as well as asphalt.
