About This Seaport
The COSCO-run container terminal at Piraeus (GR PIR) handled about 1.995 million TEU in the first half of 2026, down 2.9% from 2.054 million a year earlier amid softer Mediterranean transshipment demand and lingering Red Sea diversions. August 2026 also marked ten years since COSCO Shipping's strategic investment in the port authority OLP, a decade that turned Piraeus into Europe's busiest Mediterranean transshipment hub and one of the continent's five largest container ports. Container operations split between Pier I, run by the port authority, and Piers II and III, operated by Piraeus Container Terminal S.A., with combined capacity around 5.7 million TEU. After a soft first quarter (961,600 TEU, -5.6%), May 2026 delivered 347,000 TEU (+2.8%), the strongest monthly result in twelve months, before June eased back to 366,900 TEU (-3.6%). 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-East Europe. The decade of investment also completed an expansion of the Car Terminal, while upgrade works continue at the Perama Ship Repair Zone. Piraeus remains Europe's busiest passenger port alongside its container business. Shippers seeking alternative Mediterranean transshipment compare Gioia Tauro or Valencia, while Thessaloniki serves direct Greek-market calls.
