Following pressure by the country's creditors as well as market opposition, Shipping Minister Theodoros Dritsas has been forced to abandon his ambition of creating a Piraeus Port Public Authority (DALP).

The draft law put up on Thursday for public consultation provides for the creation of a Public Authority for Ports (DAL), but not for Piraeus.
