The relaunching of works and the productive output of the Elefsina Shipyards, in Attica of Greece, “means rather a lot, because after so many years we can again secure our work, our salary and the money we thought was lost,” accident prevention worker Dimitris Charitos told Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA-MPA) on Saturday.
Speaking to ANA-MPA on-site, Charitos added that “the feelings are those of joy, as we see hope coming for our future.”
Nearly 600 people are currently employed at Elefsina shipyards, while owner company ONEX’s plan predicts that in the next two years, the number of employees will double, and at some point, the number of employees may reach or even exceed 2,000.
The vast 300-acre site includes three large tanks, where work is being done to replace a large metal sheet so that one of these can again facilitate the docking of ships.
