Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki is a port in Northeast Greece in the North Aegean Sea. It is operated by Thessaloniki Port Authority (ThPA). It was privatised in March 2018, and was operated by South Europe Gateway Thessaloniki (SEGT) Ltd, a consortium, in turn, then owned by Germany’s Deutsche Invest Equity Partners (DIEP) 47%; France’s CMA CGM (Terminal Link) 33% and Savvidis Group (Cyprus-registered Belterra Investments) 20%.
