After Piraeus Port, COSCO now eyes Greek trains to build Europe hub
Move fits in with China's "One Belt, One Road" policy of building a modern Silk Road
Shanghai
CHINA'S COSCO Group is expected to make an offer for Greece's rail network after becoming the sole bidder for the country's largest port, two people familiar with the matter said late last week, as the state-owned shipping giant forges ahead with a plan to build a European transhipment hub.
Buying TrainOSE and Piraeus Port would give COSCO maritime connections to the Suez Canal and rail links to the Balkans and Central and Eastern Europe.
