Larnaca marina, ’s Kition no-show at committee ‘not a sign of disrespect’

Developer Kition Ocean Holdings did not attend a House transport committee meeting, but insisted it was not a sign of disrespect. They tried to attend remotely but were unable to. There is a dispute with authorities over the payment of a financial guarantee for the Larnaca port and marina project. The government expects €10 million, but the company insists on discussing the amount. Transport Minister threatened to take legal action if the full amount was not paid, but Kition only put forward €4.2 million. Differences in opinion remain regarding the guarantee amount, and the construction license for the project is set to be issued soon.
