Unexploded Ordnance Found During Thessaloniki Port Expansion
What happened
Subsea excavations for the Pier 6 expansion at the Thessaloniki Port Authority uncovered a high concentration of potential unexploded Second World War munitions. The project director for the Thessaloniki Port Authority stated that while construction continues, the Port Authority is awaiting a technical proposal from the main contractor to manage the underwater excavations and assess potential financial or time impacts. The Port Authority has requested swift state intervention, as handling the ordnance is outside its responsibilities.
