The Greek government has issued a fresh tender to privatise one of the Mediterranean's largest graving docks, Hellenic Shipyards (ENAE), after a first attempt in December last year failed.

Potential buyers of the historic yard — founded by magnate Stavros Niarchos and better known as Skaramangas — have until 7 July to submit binding bids.

Just one suitor has publicly expressed interested — Greek shipping investor Theodore Priovolos and his investment vehicle Pyletech Shipyards.
