In this paper we will discuss and analyze the existed situation in upcoming strong Greek ports, their development and the new opportunities that arise for investors. This study analyses the reforms and examines the port governance configurations and the reform process as it unfolded over the last 12 years until today’s tenders for sale majority stake and sub-concessions of the terminals. This discussion includes an examination of the background conditions (port sector developments, natural sources of energy, economic and political context) aiming to understand the foundations of the endorsed decisions and of the apparent delays to progress announced reform programs. The paper also discusses the evolution of the container ports and other ports in Greece, recording the increased market concentration that followed the concession of the Port of Piraeus terminal, as well as the different trends in other important Greek regional ports, like port of Alexandroupoli, Kavala, Patra, Igoumenitsa, Elefsina and Heraklion, as regards throughput, investments, and commercial relations, that were observed in the case of the privately operated container port.
