The Cyprus Ministry for shipping is preparing a new strategic vision for Cyprus shipping sector that will determine the future of the maritime industry.
Cyprus shipping’s new strategic approach is dubbed “SEA”, which stands for sustainable, extrovert and adaptable.
The campaign focuses on four phases:
1. Environmental sustainability
2. Digital transformation
3. Global persisting challenges (a) Social issues – seafarers’ living and working conditions, crew changes and seafarers’ vaccination (b) Piracy and armed robbery against ships:
4. Issues pertaining to maritime transport activities of high local and regional interest such as coastal navigation, marine pollution, maritime education.
The aim of the campaign is:
