According to some estimates, Piraeus may become the largest port of the Mediterranean region by 2020, but the purchase of the container port may be dwarfed by the planned investments and developments. China will develop ports on Sri Lanka, in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Kenya – all being parts of the project. The expansion of the Suez Canal will also greatly facilitate trade in the region.
