Cosco Greek Unit Says HP, Huawei Deal to Spur Athens Port

Cosco Pacific Ltd.’s Greek unit plans to offer cargo-train shipping to Hewlett-Packard Co. and Huawei Technologies Co. as of next year, boosting Piraeus port’s chances of becoming a bigger trade gateway.

Piraeus Container Terminal SA is counting on five multinationals, including California-based HP and China’s Huawei, to initiate rail-freight services from Greece’s biggest port to nearby countries, said Tassos Vamvakidis, PCT’s commercial manager.
