Operation and maintenance
Moreas S.A. (Greek: Μορέας Α.Ε) is responsible for the operation and maintenance of both the A7 and A71 motorways, which are sometimes known collectively as the Moreas Motorway (Αυτοκινητόδρομος Μωρέας).[3] The company was founded in Nestani on 22 December 2006, and is a consortium of the Aktor Group (formerly Intrakat) as the majority shareholder (85%) and the Avax Group as the minority (15%): Ellaktor used to own 71.67% of the company, until it sold Aktor Concessions to the Aktor Group in September 2025.[4][5]
Moreas S.A. operates the A7 and A71 under a 30-year public–private partnership agreement with the Greek government, from 3 March 2008 to 3 March 2038.[3]
