Run by AKARPORT, the port of Astakos (UN/LOCODE GR AST) — the NAVIPE Platygiali terminal — is a multipurpose facility on the western Greek mainland combining container, bulk/general-cargo and RoRo terminals within Greece's only free trade and industrial zone, operating 365 days a year around the clock. Deep-water berths take vessels up to about 75,000 DWT at drafts near 14 m, well suited to dry bulk and project cargo. Its position close to the Suez–Gibraltar axis supports both Greek import traffic and transshipment toward the Adriatic, Balkans, Black Sea and Middle East. Recent activity has included serving as a logistics base for hydrocarbon drilling operations in the Ionian Sea. Hinterland access is by road into western Greece; the terminal has no rail connection. For scheduled container liner services Piraeus and Patras remain the more established calls, while Igoumenitsa dominates Adriatic RoRo.
