Grimaldi transforms Igoumenitsa: the revamping of T3 Terminal

Since 2023, following its acquisition by the Grimaldi Group, a new era has begun for the Port of Igoumenitsa — one marked by investments focused on modernity, efficiency and environmental sustainability. Now it’s the turn of T3 Passenger Terminal to have a makeover, with a project that is set to turn it into an iconic space where landscape, functionality and sustainability come together.

Work began on 1 August and is due for completion by the end of September. The renovation will completely transform the terminal’s outdoor areas. Mediterranean vegetation, curved lines, functional pathways and a central fountain will turn the facility into a hub connecting the port with the city, making it more accessible, usable and welcoming.

The right-hand side of the terminal will serve the two million passengers who travel each year to and from Corfu and other Ionian islands, while the left-hand side will house the cruise terminal, including a dedicated Extra-Schengen area for passengers arriving from non-EU countries.

Many other projects are helping to make the Port of Igoumenitsa increasingly green and cutting-edge. Completed initiatives include the installation of a 1.5 MWp photovoltaic system, producing 3 million kWh per year and avoiding more than 60,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, and LED relamping, which provides annual energy savings of over 50% for lighting. Ongoing developments include the installation of charging stations for electric vehicles and an On Shore Power Supply (cold ironing) system to supply ships with shoreside electrical power.

More improvements are on the way as well: a new shuttle bus for passenger transport within the port, replacement of drainage channels, and additional upgrades aimed at improving safety and energy efficiency.
