Research by the National Technical University of Athens highlights critical deficiencies in Greece’s harborage: 70 of 93 ports have inadequate facilities and 86 percent face wave problems.
Half Greece’s ports have depth issues of some kind, the report finds, while three-quarters of the country’s dockage is unsuitable for cruise ships.
