MSC Cruises wants a coordinated strategy to promote alternative destinations and cover shortcomings that are not visible at first glance, such as in the case of tour guides, for the further development of cruising in Greece.
Speaking to journalists, Kyriakos (Keri) Anastasiadιs, senior advisor for institutional and maritime affairs at MSC Cruises, emphasized that MSC remains committed to Greece, investing in ports and new destinations.
Anastasiadιs also called for rational use of the resources from the new fee and highlighted the need for real cooperation between the state and companies, so that Greece becomes a 12-month operating destination.
He even spoke of targeting the cruise industry in the past, but stressed that the important thing is the next day.
Investment in Greece
MSC is not a classic investor, but an investor and user: “It will bring know-how, experience and commitment to the daily operation of ports. When you use the port, the commitment changes. This means operation for all 12 months, not just for 6-7 months a year,” Anastasiades said.
In fact, he explained that MSC, which in addition to the cruise industry is also one of the largest terminal operators in the world, as well as the largest liner in the world, invests in railway companies and the group can use all this know-how in Greece.
MSC is already participating in the privatization process of the port of Lavrion and Katakolo, while it is also examining other ports for possible investments.
He pointed out that the company has already begun a dynamic expansion in our country with homeporting from the port of Piraeus for three years, while eight MSC ships are currently sailing to Greece.
