Following global shipping giants, including MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company SA, CMA CGM and Hyundai Merchant Marine between 2017 and 2019, shipyards are holding orders for 36 mega container vessels with a capacity of 23,000 TEU across the world, according to data from British shipbuilding and marine analysis agency Clarkson Research Services.
The new route is driven by solid market demand for paper pulp from South America to Europe and the Mediterranean region, and shipping demand within this region is increasing.
The port's container throughput has increased from 880,000 TEUs in 2010 to 4.9 million TEUs in 2018, making Piraeus the number two of all Mediterranean ports.
Cosco Shipping Ports' terminal portfolio covers the five main port regions on the Chinese mainland, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Mediterranean.
"The Port of Piraeus was a small port in the Mediterranean Sea.
Headquartered in Valencia on the Mediterranean coast, the company operates container terminals in the Port of Valencia and the Port of Bilbao on the northern Atlantic coast, and railway terminals in Zaragoza and Madrid.
It handled 4.83 million TEUs last year, making it the largest port in the Mediterranean region and the fifth-largest in Europe in terms of container traffic, according to port officials.

Bank of China Chairman Chen Siqing said on Saturday that the Mediterranean region's position is unique and of strategic importance, at the crossroads of land Silk Road and maritime Silk Road.
Chen made the remarks at a three-day forum of the Third Mediterranean Dialogues that concluded Saturday.
He shared with an audience of some 500 participants from different countries and regions the topic of how to promote "Belt and Road" construction projects for a more prosperous Mediterranean region.
According to the Chinese banker, the role of the Mediterranean region becomes more and more important as the Belt and Road construction goes on.
"Here (the Mediterranean) is the key juncture of the infrastructures along the Belt and Road.
The Mediterranean's position is unique and of strategic importance, at the crossroads of land Silk Road and maritime Silk Road," he said.
In 2014, China and four Mediterranean countries decided to build "China-Europe Continental and Ocean Expressway".
"In the future, we should continue to intensify the building of infrastructures in the Mediterranean region and to push forward the construction of great projects such as the Hungary-Serbia railway linking Budapest and Belgrade, as well as the shaping of a logistic and transport network linking Europe, Asia and Africa by land, sea and air," Chen said.
The Mediterranean region is one of the most popular destination for Chinese tourists, and there are increasing number of products moving from the Mediterranean to China, the bank chief said.
Eager to restore the country's earning ability in the global shipping business, the government merged two State-owned shipping firms－China Ocean Shipping (Group) Co and China Shipping (Group) Co to form COSCO Shipping in 2016, to challenge the dominance of top players such as Maersk Line and Switzerland-based Mediterranean Shipping Co SA.
On Friday, an Alexandria-bound train coming from Cairo crashed into the rear of another train on its way from the Mediterranean city of Port Said to Alexandria, leaving 49 people dead and more than 130 others injured.
Once the deal is finalized, COSCO Shipping will have a fleet of more than 400 vessels and capacity exceeding 2.9 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), making it the world's third largest container shipping line after Denmark's Maersk Line and Switzerland's Mediterranean Shipping Company.
"Denmark's Maersk Line, Switzerland's Mediterranean Shipping Co SA and French group CMA CGM SA are the world's top three container operators, with up to a 40 percent market share worldwide.
The deal extended its ports and terminals network to the Mediterranean region in Europe, and dovetails with its massive merchant fleet of 1,028 ships.
Other facilities such as new docks to build ships and offshore engineering facilities, as well as new parking areas, will help Greece improve its manufacturing capabilities and build Piraeus into a major vehicle transfer terminal for the Mediterranean region.
From the Pacific, the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, and from the South China Sea, the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road spans the oceans and extends beyond time and space.
[Photo/VCG]ISTANBUL - China's COSCO Shipping Lines on Sunday marked the opening of a new regional service of container shipping that connects the ports in Northern Europe and those in the Mediterranean Sea.
Tian noted that the intra-Europe trade saw an annual increase of 70 percent over the last two years, with the shipping lines offering a total of 12 services now in the region of Northern Europe and the Mediterranean.
By calling at Piraeus, the new service shall fully connect the ports in Northern Europe and those in the Adriatic Sea, the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean, enabling it to have 15 trunk and feeder vessels call at the Greek port per week and supply the "most competitive" services to its customers, the lines said.
It noted that the new service offers as well a new route for cargo to be shipped from the Mediterranean to the United States by calling at Italy's Salerno.
Bucking the trend, the sub-reading for the Mediterranean service logged the sharpest decrease of 0.9 percent from one week earlier.
The center, located on the Mediterranean coast with a breathtaking view of the blue sea, was founded in 1996 by former Israeli president Shimon Peres.
Thanks to growing shipping demand and rising freight, the profit growth of global shipping companies, such as France's CMA CGM SA, Denmark's Maersk Group and Geneva-based Mediterranean Shipping Co SA, has soared significantly since 2020, he said.
For example, Maersk has acquired more logistics companies to improve its whole-process logistics layout and the Mediterranean has placed more orders for new container vessels, while CMA CGM has been involved in the aviation field and ordered more liquefied natural gas-powered ships.
But, many shipping lines such as Mediterranean Shipping Company, CMA CGM SA and Maersk Line have also emerged as unlikely beneficiaries, making a pile of profits for more than a year.
Leveraging on efficient operations and management capabilities, three container terminals at the Port of Hamburg attracted three major shipping alliances, including Ocean Alliance, formed by China COSCO Shipping, France's CMA CGM SA and other players, and the 2M Alliance, with Denmark's Maersk Line and Switzerland-based Mediterranean Shipping Co SA as partners.
In the past month, many global shipping companies such as Maersk and Mediterranean Shipping Company SA have increased their surcharge fees, which is also key to the recent sharp rise in sea freight prices.
"It now takes 30 days for a car made in Japan to be shipped to Dalian Port by sea and transported to Kazakhstan by rail via the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region," he said, adding it used to take more than 80 days via the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea and Russia in the past.
The sub-reading for Persian Gulf/Red Sea service led the gain with a month-on-month rise of 21.3 percent, followed by those for the Mediterranean and Europe routes, which went up 17.9 percent and 15.2 percent respectively from the previous month.
