The upgrade of Kato Paphos’s small harbour is now on track, with preparatory work having begun in recent days. The bodies involved have already held their first contacts to prepare a strategic plan, bringing together Paphos Municipality, the Ports Authority, the Fisheries Department, the Port Police, and representatives of local community bodies that operate professionally in the harbour’s sea and land areas.
According to philenews’ information, these preparatory talks are extensively covering issues around the harbour’s operation and upgrade. Central to the planned changes are the possible extension of the breakwater, aimed at better protecting boats, and improvements to infrastructure to make it easier for cruise ships to dock, both contributing to the harbour’s wider upgrade.
Also on the table are issues concerning professional fishermen and coastal shipping operators, along with the broader need for more effective management of the harbour’s spaces and operations.
Acting Mayor of Paphos Angelos Onisiforou told philenews yesterday that this preliminary work on the harbour’s future has begun, and is continuing, in a particularly constructive climate, with a shared willingness to cooperate among all the bodies involved, aimed at advancing substantive solutions and resolving longstanding problems affecting the area.
