ANEK and Attica deal to create a European giant company

The second largest passenger shipping company in Europe in terms of passenger capacity and the fifth in terms of garage capacity will be created by the merger and absorption of ANEK by Attica Group.

The merger plan was approved on Monday by Attica Group’s board of directors, which according to a related report intends to keep the company’s brands while ensuring the demands of third parties, including employees, suppliers and business partners.

The rights and obligations based on employment contracts or employment relationships of ANEK employees are transferred to Attica.

Meanwhile, an upgrade program is underway. More specifically, scrubbers will be installed in two ANEK ships at a total cost of approximately 20 million euros, while another 11.3 million euros will be provided for the maintenance of the ships.
