The state has reached a friendly settlement with Cosco Shipping regarding the additional stake in Piraeus Port Authority (OLP) due to the Chinese company, pending the implementation of a number of investments at the port.

Although not all contractual obligations have been fulfilled, amounting to investments of 293.7 million euros, the additional 16% is to be transferred to Cosco, taking its stake to 67%.
