ATHENS, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Greece has received nine
expressions of interest for a 67% stake in the operator of
Heraklion port on the popular tourist island of Crete, its
privatisation agency HRADF said on Friday.
    Following are the consortia or standalone firms which
submitted interest for the Heraklion Port Authority: Aktor
Concessions with Attica Group, Industrial and Hotel Enterprises
with FHL Kikiakidis, GEK Terna with Aviareps, Grimaldi Euromed
with Minoan Lines Shipping; Portet International with GPH Cruise
Port Finance, Sekavin with Goldenstep Shipping, Olete, Tekal and
Thessaloniki Port Authority.
    Herakion Port Authority has the exclusive right to use and
operate berths for passenger and cruise ships and dry bulk and
cargo vessels and other facilities until 2063.
    HRADF will then select which consortia qualify to submit
binding bids for the asset.
