Piraeus Port Authority SA on Monday reported a 10.9% decline in 2020 turnover to 132.9 million euros, from €149.2 million in 2019, and attributed this development to the impact of the pandemic crisis on sea cruise and coastal shipping (revenue was down 84% and 26.4%, respectively), along with a 20.3% decline in revenue from the car transport sector.
