A $5.2 million Navy logistics facility that recently opened in Souda bay on the Greek island of Crete, will better support ships operating in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, service officials say, according to news website for US Military Stars and Stripes.
The 14,000 square-foot warehouse at Naval Support Activity Souda Bay on the island of Crete includes space for storage, visiting ship cargo and offices, said Paul Cage, a spokesman for Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Europe, Africa, Central.
The opening of the facility last week at the NATO Marathi Pier Complex delivered a much-needed capability for the base and all visiting vessels, Cage said. He noted that previous storage capacity for ship cargo “did not include refrigerator and freezer spaces, rendering ability for cold storage nonexistent.”
Construction began in the fall of 2021 and was completed in January 2025.
The project included a hazardous materials storage canopy and an above-ground water tank with a pump house, among other work, he said.
Located in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, NSA Souda Bay has an airfield, a deep-water pier facility and refueling and resupply services. The airfield is shared with a Greek air force combat wing and a civilian airport. About 1,000 active-duty service members, Defense Department civilians, contractors, local workers and family members are assigned to the base.
Earlier this year, the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman was repaired at Souda Bay following a Feb. 12 collision with a civilian cargo ship near the Suez Canal.
