Limassol History
The town
of Limassol is the biggest industrial centre of the
province. There are about 350 industrial units with 90
industry wares. These industries concern dressmaking,
furniture, shoes, drinks, food, prints, metal industry,
electric devices, plastic wares as well as many other
different industries.
Limassol
is an important trade centre of Cyprus. This is due to
the presence of the
UK sovereign base at Episkopi and
Akrotiri, and to the displacement of the population
in Limassol after the Turkish invasion in 1974. The
trade markets are gathered in the center of the town and
in the tourist area along the coast that begins from the
old harbor and ends in Amathus area. Most of the hotels,
restaurants, confectioneries, discos and places of
entertainment in general, are to be found in this area.
Limassol
has two
ports, commonly referred to as the "old port" and
the "new port". The new port has the greatest commercial
and passenger flow of traffic and it is the biggest port
in the free part of Cyprus. The old harbour has a
breakwater 250 metres long and it is only able to
receive three small ships at a time. It is thus normally
used by fishing boats. The new harbour is eleven metres
deep and has break-waters that are 1300 metres long. It
is able to receive about ten ships depending on their
size. Exports of grapes, wines, carobs, citrus fruits
and imports of cereals, vehicles, machines, textiles,
agricultural medicines, fertilizers, iron etc. are
exported and imported through these ports.

€3 bln investment for port, marina,
hotels
A decision is imminent on which
of the three international consortia will undertake the massive
development to transform the port of Larnaca into the Eastern
Mediterranean’s leading cruise centre. The successful bidder, however,
is not expected to be announced until after the presidential elections
this month.
The ambitious project aims to link the port and marina with the famous
Phinikoudes (Palm Tree) promenade, while shops, restaurants and
real-estate development will go up making the port-area yet further
tourist friendly.
The port presently has two berthing quays some 330m long each, a
container yard of 220,000 sq.m., three stores, parking for 100 buses and
a passenger terminal with a capacity to handle 400-500 passengers per
ship. The latter came under excessive strain when the port had to
accommodate ten times its capacity of foreign nationals fleeing Israel’s
bombardment of Lebanon in the summer of 2006. The port operates two
pilot boats and three tug boats to help cruise or cargo ships manoeuvre
themselves as the port’s inner turning circle is for 300m vessels, but
the new project expects to increase this to 500m.
Only last week, the contracts were signed for the build-operate-transfer
(BOT) contract worth 170 mln euros for the development of the new
1000-berth Limassol marina. The winning bidders were the joint venture
Lemesos Marina Ltd., headed by Cybarco, J&P and J&P/Avax, Athena ATE,
Francoudi & Stephanou, CADS Holdings and the Limassol Marina Development
Company affiliated to the Limassol Chamber of Commerce. Other contracts
for the construction of marinas in Paphos and Ayia Napa are also in the
pipeline.
The Paphos marina will be situated in Potamites Kissonerga and will have
a 1000-yacht capacity, with the process for the tender at its final
stage. The Ministry of Commerce Industry and Tourism is advancing the
negotiations with the bidder for the Ayia Napa marina which will have a
600-yacht capacity. According to OffRadar, the weekly cruise, ferry and
shipping review, whichever of the three consortia wins the DBFO (design
– build –finance – operate) contract, will take Larnaca forward into a
new era, managing and operating the new cruise facility for the next 35
years. Coupled with the construction of a new airport just ten minutes
away, the project will firmly place Larnaca at the forefront of cruise
tourism.
Running in parallel with the cruise port project is the building of a
new marina, 5-star hotels, leisure and retail development, all linked
via a promenade to ‘down town’ Larnaca and its beaches. The ambitious
project is expected to be completed five years from contract award.
Phase One of the project, the new cruise port and marina is costing €1
bln, but the final bill for all areas is expected to be around €3 bln. A
vision of the new cruise and tourism era for Larnaca was given to 200
delegates at a conference in London last week, during which Grant
Holmes, CEO of Progress Cyprus Tourism and Business Services Ltd
outlined the port’s plans to become a homeport for cruise ships and the
area’s cruise hub.
Holmes said that “Larnaca possesses the ideal conditions to become a
home port serving the Eastern Mediterranean, Greek Islands, Black Sea
and the Holy Lands, with particular attraction to British, German and
Cypriot cruise lines.
The Larnaca cruise message is already reaching the industry as an
unnamed UK operator is expected to operate three cruises out of the port
this April, the OffRadar report said. The decision on the winning bidder
will be made by the Government, and details of the proposed development
of the port are under wraps, although plans include two modern cruise
terminals and alongside berths for seven ships. The three consortia
bidding for this project involve some of the biggest names in the
shipping/cruise industry, including Louis Cruise Lines, Costa Crociere
and the specialist divisions of Amsterdam Port and the Port of Singapore
Authority.
Consortium A is led by Cypriot-based A. Vouros Investment and its
partners include Singapore Cruise Centre Pte, DP Architects Ltd, Joannou
& Parakevaides and J&P Avax SA.
Consortium B is the Larnaca-Zenon Consortium and its partners
include French construction company Bouygues Batiments International,
Iacovou Brothers, Amsterdam Logistics Group BV, Lievense Consulting
Engineering, Louis Private Ltd, Petrolina (Holdings) Public Ltd and
Marinaman Ltd. This consortium is also believed to include Costa
Crociere.
Consortium C is led by Cypriot-based DJK Group and includes
Camper & Nicholsons Marinas Ltd, Parsons Brickenhoff, Odell
International LLC, Viset Malta plc, Economic Research Associates, WATG,
DEPFA Bank plc, Colliers CRE and McGuireWoods LLP. |
