The Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund (HRADF) is reportedly planning to launch tenders for the privatisation of two regional ports, Alexandroupolis and Kavala. It is thought that the authority will privatise the ports through sub-concessioning individual activities such as cruise, freight and goods transport.

Located in the Thrace region of north-eastern Greece, Alexandroupolis Port is considered to have potential for a container terminal, special type cargo and passenger ferry services. It is a key port because of its connectivity to the Egnatia Odos highway and the railway line to Thessaloniki. The port has a useable service area of 169,600 sqm and quay length of 1,795 m.

Kavla Port is located in northern Greece, and has potential to support general cargo, dry bulk, special type cargo, and passenger ferry & cruise services. It is a major export point for marble transport and has a useable service area of 104,000 sqm and quay length of 1,900 m.
