Yellow concrete mooring cleat with rope tied around at Piraeus Port in Athens, Greece.
The Port of Piraeus, as the largest Greek seaport, is one of the largest seaports in Europe and the world, located in the Mediterranean Sea basin. The Port of Piraeus served as the port of Athens since the ancient times. Today, the Port of Piraeus is a major employer in the region, with more than 2,500 employees who provide services to more than 40,000 ships and passengers every year. According to Lloyd's list for top 100 container ports in 2015 Piraeus ranked 8th in Europe and 3rd the Mediterranean sea. This rapid growth is expecting to make Piraeus the biggest commercial port in the Mediterranean by 2016.
