A new supplementary 145-page memorandum to the existing Strategic Environmental Impact Assessment (SEA) master plan of the port of Piraeus appears to have been submitted by the PPA last week.
The memorandum describes in detail the effects and additional burdens on the lives of the inhabitants and the environment of the temporary works of the construction of the cruise pier.
If the consultation is completed smoothly – the previous SMP had been rejected by the Attica Region – then the co-competent Ministries of Shipping and Environment will be able to issue a relevant JMC for the re-licensing of the construction of the southern extension of the passenger port of Piraeus.
