EU Commission agrees to tender changes for Cyprus-Greece ferry link
May 26, 2021
The European Commission has agreed to changes in the tender framework for a planned ferry link to Greece, raising hopes the long-discontinued service could attract interest from potential bidders, deputy shipping minister Vasilis Demetriades said on Wednesday.
Efforts, underway for several years to restore a ferry link between Cyprus and Pireaus, took a blow earlier last year when an invitation for tenders approved by the EU’s DG Competition failed to attract any bids.
