MSC is cooperating with Olympic Marine to bid for a majority stake at Lavrion Port, while also exploring opportunities in Patras and Katakolo. The company plans to invest at least €100 million in Lavrion, with potential upgrades in Katakolo to enhance passenger experiences. MSC also expressed readiness to support Greek tourism infrastructure, including a possible second funicular in Santorini if requested. Vago emphasized that MSC continues to serve 22 Greek islands, transporting over 1 million passengers with 8 ships in the country, and sees Greece as a key hub for European cruise operations, sustainability initiatives, and maritime technology development.
