Crisis in Larnaca Port Services Due to Staff Shortage
August 19, 2025
The functioning of the Larnaca port is in serious crisis, with insufficient staffing causing significant delays in ship servicing. Feed importers express their frustration, stating that the port urgently needs new personnel. With only two crane operators available, the delays lead to financial losses and compensation payments to ship owners. The importers are concerned that the situation may be deliberate, aiming to justify the privatization of the port. Immediate solutions and strategic planning are deemed essential.
