Greek port unit of Cosco Pacific lands 4th cargo-train MNC customer

Athens

THE Greek unit of China-based Cosco Pacific Ltd has expanded cargo-train shipping to include a fourth multinational company, bolstering Piraeus port's goal of becoming a main trade gateway into Europe.

Piraeus Container Terminal SA (PCT) at mid-year added a non-Chinese Asian electronics manufacturer to its list of clients that use rail-freight services from Greece's biggest port to move goods to central Europe, said Tassos Vamvakidis, PCT commercial manager. The services began earlier this year.
