Larnaca Port Project

Our mission is to create a functional port. The Larnaka Port, once completed, will consist of 10 piers, a state-of-the-art passenger building and will use environmentally friendly ship loading and unloading equipment.
At the same time, the existing infrastructure of the port will be upgraded in terms of sea area and internal road network and storage areas. Meanwhile, new infrastructure will be created with expansion of the quays, construction of new buildings and utilization of the port for cargo management, mooring services, and loading / unloading of ships and storage.

We will construct building facilities, such as the Port Authority, the Nautical Club, the port entrance building, as well as a multi-purpose building and a state-of-the-art cruise passenger terminal.
