About This Seaport
Around 3.98 million TEU crossed the COSCO container terminal at Piraeus (GR PIR) in 2025, a 6% fall from 4.23 million in 2024 that still left the port among Europe's five largest box hubs and the Mediterranean's busiest. The decline reflects softer Mediterranean transhipment demand and the lingering effects of carriers diverting from the Suez Canal during the Red Sea crisis. Container operations span Pier I, run by the Piraeus Port Authority, and Piers II and III, operated by Piraeus Container Terminal S.A., with combined capacity near 6.2 million TEU. A large share of throughput is transshipment, with boxes redistributed onto feeders for the Adriatic, Black Sea and North Africa. Inland, rail via the Thriasio freight hub and the Athens–Thessaloniki line carries containers toward central and south-eastern Europe. Despite the container dip, the port authority posted record revenue in 2025 on the back of cruise and Pier I growth. The port is also Europe's busiest passenger harbour and runs ship-repair yards with dry docks. Shippers seeking alternative Mediterranean transshipment compare Gioia Tauro or Valencia, while Thessaloniki serves direct Greek-market calls.
