Credit: STR \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amna.gr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">AMNA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Piraeus Port Authority S.A., operator of Greece\u2019s largest port, recorded the strongest financial results in its history in 2025, supported by higher revenue, record EBITDA, and strong activity in cruise and container operations.<\/p>\n<p>The results underline the continued importance of the Port of Piraeus for <a href=\"https:\/\/greekreporter.com\/greece\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Greece\u2019s<\/a> transport, trade, <a href=\"https:\/\/greekreporter.com\/2026\/05\/01\/cemetery-tourism-greece\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">tourism<\/a>, and logistics sectors, even as parts of the business faced pressure from regulatory decisions and a demanding international environment.<\/p>\n<p>Greece\u2019s Piraeus port results show revenue climbing to \u20ac250.8 million<\/p>\n<p>PPA S.A. reported total revenue of \u20ac250.8 million ($295,6 million) in 2025, compared with \u20ac230.9 million ($272,1 million) in 2024. The increase amounted to \u20ac19.9 million ($23,4 million), or 8.6 percent year-on-year.<\/p>\n<p>Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Earnings_before_interest,_taxes,_depreciation_and_amortization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">EBITDA<\/a>, reached \u20ac132.3 million ($155,6 million), up 2.2 percent from the previous year. Both revenue and EBITDA represented the highest levels ever recorded by the company.<\/p>\n<p>Profit after tax came in at \u20ac86.2 million ($101,6 million), marking a slight decline of 1.5 percent. Despite the decrease in net profit, the company\u2019s overall performance remained strong, reflecting the resilience of one of Greece\u2019s most important port operators.<\/p>\n<p>Shareholders to receive \u20ac1.896 per share<\/p>\n<p>The proposed dividend for fiscal year 2025 stands at \u20ac1.896 per share ($2.235 per share). This corresponds to the distribution of 55 percent of net profit, in line with the company\u2019s stable dividend policy.<\/p>\n<p>The payout signals that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olp.gr\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">PPA S.A<\/a>. continues to return a significant share of earnings to investors while also maintaining its investment program for port infrastructure in Greece.<\/p>\n<p>Cruise traffic reaches all-time high<\/p>\n<p>One of the strongest areas of growth came from cruise activity. Passenger traffic in the cruise sector reached 1.86 million ($2,19 million) in 2025, the highest level ever recorded at the port.<\/p>\n<p>The figure reinforces Piraeus\u2019 role as a leading cruise hub in the Eastern Mediterranean, benefiting from Greece\u2019s wider position as a major tourism destination and from the port\u2019s connectivity with Athens and the Aegean islands.<\/p>\n<p>The record also shows the growing importance of cruise operations within PPA S.A.\u2019s broader business mix, as passenger flows continue to support port revenue and related economic activity in Greece.<\/p>\n<p>Container terminal Pier I sets new record<\/p>\n<p>The container terminal at Pier I also posted a historic performance. Throughput reached 664,581 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savinodelbene.com\/teu-what-it-is-how-its-measured-importance-in-logistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit)<\/a> in 2025, setting a new all-time record for the terminal.<\/p>\n<p>The result highlights the strategic role of <a href=\"https:\/\/greekreporter.com\/2026\/05\/03\/ancient-greek-lion-piraeus-venice\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Piraeus<\/a> in regional container transport and logistics, as well as Greece\u2019s position in Eastern Mediterranean trade routes.<\/p>\n<p>Together, the cruise and container figures show that the port\u2019s record financial performance was not driven by a single activity, but by gains across key operational areas.<\/p>\n<p>Greece\u2019s Piraeus Port results weighed down by ferry fee reduction<\/p>\n<p>The strong full-year performance came despite a sharp fall in revenue from ferry shipping. Revenue in the ferry sector declined by 28.4 percent in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The drop followed a reduction in port fees from May 2025, introduced after a request by Greece\u2019s Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Insular Policy. The measure was aimed at helping contain ferry ticket prices.<\/p>\n<p>PPA S.A. accepted the reduction as part of its corporate social responsibility contribution, even though it weighed on revenue from one of the port\u2019s traditional passenger activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Port of Piraeus in Greece posted record results in 2025, supported by strong cruise and container activity.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":785023,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[64,100912,321069,79,56610,24918,253705,321070,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-785022","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-container","10":"tag-ebitda","11":"tag-economy","12":"tag-financial-results","13":"tag-greece","14":"tag-greek-government","15":"tag-piraeus-port","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116546545898917298","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=785022"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785022\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/785023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=785022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=785022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=785022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
