02 April 2026. Piraeus Port Authority S.A. (PPA S.A.) has strengthened the first-aid equipment of the Hellenic Coast Guard as part of its ongoing contribution to enhancing safety and protecting human life within port facilities.

More specifically, PPA S.A. donated seven portable defibrillators to the Hellenic Coast Guard, with the aim of further enhancing the operational readiness of its personnel and enabling the immediate response to emergency incidents.

The defibrillators are intended to be placed in Coast Guard service vehicles and motorcycles, so that first aid can be provided immediately to citizens and visitors within port facilities whenever and wherever needed.

This initiative is fully aligned with the guidelines of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Insular Policy regarding the modernization and strengthening of first-aid equipment, reaffirming PPA S.A.’s commitment to making a meaningful contribution to upgrading the resources available to the Coast Guard.

As part of the donation, a presentation and hands-on training session was also carried out for Coast Guard personnel on the proper use of the defibrillators and the basic procedures of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), ensuring the effective use of the equipment in real emergency conditions.

This new donation follows the recent delivery of six motorcycles to the Hellenic Coast Guard, as part of the broader and long-standing cooperation between PPA S.A. and the Coast Guard of the Port of Piraeus, with the aim of strengthening their operational capabilities and protecting human life.

PPA S.A. recognizes the vital role of the Hellenic Coast Guard in protecting citizens, safeguarding maritime transport, and ensuring the smooth operation of port facilities, and remains firmly committed to providing tangible support to its work.
