GRAIO Port Code Lookup
Total 1 ports of GRAIO
Alimos Port is the seaport of Alimos, in the city of Alimosin Greece. Overseas routes include Europe, Port code is GRAIO.
Port Overview
Alimos (UN/LOCODE: GRAIO) is a Greek coastal port locality in the Attica region, associated with the southern Athens waterfront. The supplied port record identifies Alimos, Greece, within the East Mediterranean–Black Sea logistics area and provides the coordinates 37.9166667, -23.7166667. In practical forwarding terms, GRAIO should be treated as a local coastal or marina-related port location rather than assumed to be a container gateway. The available record shows no FCL, LCL or vehicle service count, and does not establish container-terminal, customs-terminal or regular liner-port capabilities. Our service team can use GRAIO as the requested destination reference, while confirming the actual receiving facility, cargo acceptance, customs routing and onward connection before booking.

Key Highlights
Facilities & Services
The following distinction is important for quotation accuracy: the GRAIO record identifies a port locality but does not verify a full commercial container-terminal service profile. Our service team will therefore separate confirmed destination handling from possible gateway operations.
- Receiving facility: Confirm the exact berth, marina, terminal, warehouse or consignee site before issuing shipping instructions.
- Container operations: FCL/LCL stuffing, stripping, reefer plugging, weighbridge availability and empty-container return must be confirmed case by case; they should not be inferred from the UN/LOCODE alone.
- Breakbulk and project cargo: Oversized, heavy or non-standard cargo requires advance confirmation of lifting equipment, discharge method, working area and safe truck access.
- Customs and storage: Confirm whether the nominated site is customs-capable and whether cargo must be transferred to an approved customs or bonded facility elsewhere in the Attica area.
- Inland transport: Road delivery is the practical planning focus for the Athens area. Vehicle dimensions, delivery appointments, parking, escort needs and local access rules should be checked in advance.
Routes & Transit Times
- Import routing: Ocean cargo may require discharge at a separately confirmed Greek gateway or another Mediterranean hub, followed by feeder, coastal, bonded transfer or truck delivery to the Alimos receiving point.
- Export routing: Empty-equipment positioning, cargo acceptance and the actual export terminal should be confirmed before the shipper commits to GRAIO as the port reference.
- Regional directions: Mediterranean and European connections may be available through the selected carrier or gateway, but this page does not promise direct service, fixed sailing frequency or specific carrier coverage.
- Transit-time controls: The main variables are gateway selection, transshipment, customs release, equipment availability, terminal cut-off, urban delivery appointments and any special handling approval. Our team should quote timing only after receiving the actual origin, cargo details and receiving facility.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Primary hinterland: The immediate market is the southern Athens and wider Attica urban area, with final-mile distribution dependent on the nominated facility rather than on the code alone.
- Likely cargo profile: Coastal and marina-related shipments, marine equipment, maintenance supplies, commercial consumer goods and general cargo may be relevant; the exact acceptance profile must be confirmed with the receiving operator.
- Commercial cargo: Palletized freight, cartons and machinery can be planned only after checking unloading equipment, delivery access, storage arrangements and any requirement for a separate customs facility.
- Special cargo: Dangerous goods, temperature-controlled goods, oversized units and high-value cargo require pre-approval and a documented handling plan.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-offs: Booking cut-off, SI deadline, VGM deadline, terminal gate cut-off and receiving-facility appointment are separate controls. Our team should obtain the applicable times in writing; they vary by carrier, gateway and cargo type.
- Dangerous goods: Provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, flash point where applicable, packing certificate and emergency contact details. No DG cargo should be accepted on assumptions about local capability.
- Documents: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document instructions, HS classification, origin information, permits and customs data must be aligned with the actual importer and customs route.
- Inspection and release: Customs inspection, document queries or a transfer to another approved facility can add time and cost. Cargo should not be dispatched until release status and delivery authorization are confirmed.
Shipping Tips
- Send our service team the full consignee address, cargo dimensions, gross weight, packaging photos and intended use of GRAIO before requesting a firm quotation.
- For containerized cargo, ask us to compare the nominated Alimos delivery point with a confirmed Attica gateway, including terminal handling, bonded transfer, empty return and final-mile trucking.
- For machinery or project cargo, provide the center of gravity, lifting points, dimensions and truck requirements so that access and unloading can be assessed before dispatch.
- Keep customs descriptions, HS codes, invoice values, package marks and transport instructions consistent; discrepancies are a common cause of document queries and delivery delay.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I book a standard FCL shipment directly to GRAIO?
Not without operational confirmation. The supplied record shows FCL and LCL indicators of zero and does not verify a container terminal. Our service team will first confirm the actual receiving facility and, where necessary, propose a gateway-plus-truck routing.
Is Alimos the same as a major Greek container gateway?
No assumption should be made from the location name or UN/LOCODE. Alimos should be handled as a local port reference unless the carrier, terminal or receiving operator confirms otherwise for the specific shipment.
What information is needed for a delivery quotation?
Provide origin, cargo description, packages, dimensions, gross weight, DG status, customs status, consignee address, unloading equipment and preferred delivery window. These details determine whether direct delivery or an alternative gateway is appropriate.
Can dangerous goods be delivered to Alimos?
Possibly, subject to the receiving operator, carrier, route and applicable Greek and EU requirements. Submit the complete DG declaration before booking; acceptance, segregation, storage and vehicle access must be confirmed in advance.
Will customs clearance take place at Alimos?
That depends on the actual customs-enabled facility and routing. Our team will verify the import procedure, inspection location, transfer documents and release conditions with the responsible customs and terminal parties.
