THE Maersk group is lining up to acquire Greece`s two biggest ports after Greek government put them on sale to fill the bankrupt nation`s coffers to pay its Herculean debt load, according to Bloomberg.

"We`re interested in Piraeus and Thessaloniki," said vice president of Maersk`s port operator APM Terminals Francois-Xavier Delenclos.

The sale of major Greek assets, such as the ports of Piraeus and Thessaloniki, are a way for the country to get bailout money to keep its banks open while the EU works out a plan for insolvent Greece to repay its debts.
