Limassol
Limassol is a port in south of the Eastern Mediterranean island state of Cyprus. Limassol port is now the principal seaport of the island. Most of the island’s cargo is also handled in this port. In the year 2000, 3,589,000 tonnes of cargo were handled whilst there were roughly 1 million passenger arrival and departures. Over 50 international cruise liners include Cyprus in their Mediterranean Sea routes resulting in much of the passenger traffic. The port’s multi-purpose terminal is operated by DP World Limassol.
