Port Contract
Thessaloniki resets Pier 6 around a 21-caisson contract
ThPA's November 2025 contract places the Pier 6 expansion with a 70:30 METKA-TEKAL joint venture for EUR 195.6 million and 40 months. The first of 21 caissons was installed in July 2026. That milestone makes the new quay visible but leaves the rest of the caisson sequence, navigation dredging, terminal works and acceptance open.
The current contract replaces the 2022 award chain
ThPA's 2025 contract and 2026 caisson releases control the current record. METLEN confirms the joint-venture split. The tender basis defines dredging and geometry; the 2022 award is used only to prevent obsolete contractor attribution.
Contract identity and marine progress now align
A reader following the old Mytilineos-Rover Maritime-HDK award would identify the wrong current contractor. The new record establishes the controlling joint venture and separates a first caisson from all 21 units, completed dredging, accepted quay geometry and 24,000-TEU operating capability.
Evidence conclusion
The remaining marine acceptance chain stays open
The employer, current contractor, joint-venture split, value, programme, core geometry and first-caisson milestone are confirmed. Missing evidence includes dredging quantity and plant, material destination, downstream marine subcontractors, the current independent engineer, as-built depth, owner acceptance and any operational release for larger container vessels.
Outstanding evidence
- Remaining 20 caissons and quay-wall closure
- Named downstream marine subcontractors
- Dredging mobilisation, quantity and plant
- Sediment disposal or reuse route
- As-built quay and navigation depth
- Owner and independent-engineer acceptance
- Terminal readiness and first repeat large-vessel service
