CSC Director General, Alexandros Josephides, participated in the Cyprus–Italy Maritime Business Forum, at the invitation of the Embassy of Italy in Cyprus, joining the 2nd Session: “Good Practices and Compliance in Shipping Management”. During the discussion, Mr Josephides highlighted the strengths, competitive advantages and international success of Cyprus’s shipmanagement sector, emphasising its contribution to the country’s standing as a leading international shipping centre. As he noted, “We are proud of what Cyprus has built, but we are equally focused on what comes next. Our objective is not simply to preserve our position, but to continue enhancing it.”   Congratulations to the organisers on a successful forum, which provided a valuable platform for exchanging views on best practices and compliance in shipping management, while fostering further cooperation between Cyprus and Italy in the maritime sector.

The Cyprus Shipping Chamber was pleased to host a meeting with a visiting delegation from the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways of the Government of India, on the sidelines of the first India–Cyprus Maritime Joint Committee meeting.

The discussion covered shipping and shipmanagement, maritime services, ports and logistics, maritime education and training, as well as green shipping, decarbonisation, alternative fuels and digitalisation. The engagement offered a valuable platform to exchange expertise, share perspectives and explore new avenues for collaboration between the maritime communities of Cyprus and India.

Following the summer break, we resumed our monthly Members’ Meetings with a session on “Transfer Pricing on Financial Transactions.” The presentation provided our Members with a practical overview of the relevant guidelines and their application to multinational shipping groups operating through Cyprus. The discussion covered the delineation of financial transactions, the determination of arm’s length interest rates, the impact of implicit support and group synergies, as well as practical considerations for ensuring compliance and mitigating the risk of double taxation. We would like to sincerely thank our guest speakers, Mr. Costas Savva and Mr. Christos Theofilou of STI Taxand, for sharing their expertise and valuable insights with our Members.

Today, we mark #WorldMaritimeDay 2026, together with the international maritime community, under the @IMOHQ theme “From Policy to Practice: Powering Maritime Excellence.” For Shipping, turning policy into practice means translating international standards and decisions into action that delivers safety, security, efficiency and environmental sustainability, while keeping our #Seafarers at the centre. In today’s challenging geopolitical environment, protecting them remains an absolute priority, as they ensure the delivery of essential goods worldwide. At the same time, the industry’s #Energy and #Environmental transition requires a clear global regulatory framework, new technologies and fuels, investment and new skills across the maritime workforce. Effective implementation therefore depends on strong local and international cooperation and practical solutions. On #WorldMaritimeDay, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that the voice of the Cyprus Shipping Industry is heard where decisions are made, and that policy translates into real action, supporting a Shipping Industry that is safe, sustainable and resilient, with its people at the centre. Happy World Maritime Day! ⚓ #WorldMaritimeDay2026 #MaritimePolicytoPractice

The Chamber’s President, Andreas Neophytou, participated today at the Shipping Symposium, Cyprus’26, organised by FMW Media, where he delivered a speech, highlighting the important role of Cyprus Shipping to our country. He also mentioned that, “As a major maritime centre, #Cyprus is well positioned to contribute actively to the future of global shipping by supporting safe trade, sustainable growth and international cooperation at a time when resilience matters more than ever.” Our thanks to FMW Media for the invitation and for hosting a productive evening centered on the sector's competitiveness and long-term development.

-- Charting a Sustainable Future for Europe’s Islands and Coastal Communities: Cyprus Shipping Chamber at the EU High-Level Conference -- The Chamber participated in the High-Level Conference “Strengthening Islands and Coastal Communities of the European Union”, held today, under the @CY2026EU. The Chamber was represented by its Deputy Director General, Sophoclis Constantinou. The Conference highlighted the importance of strengthening the resilience, sustainability and competitiveness of Europe’s islands and coastal communities, where #Shipping plays a vital role in supporting connectivity, trade and economic prosperity.

Behind every shipment delivered, every supermarket stocked and every economy connected, there is a #Seafarer making it possible. This year’s #DayoftheSeafarer is not only a moment to recognise their contribution, but also to acknowledge the realities many seafarers continue to face. Long periods away from home, demanding working conditions and challenges at sea and as the Theme says “Carrying world trade. Carrying the risks.” While Seafarers carry world trade, they should not have to carry these challenges alone. Today, we stand with Seafarers everywhere and express our respect, appreciation and continue our support for the people who keep global trade moving safely across the world’s oceans and protect them. We therefore, fully support today’s declaration, released by @shippingics, of ten key policy focus areas for international governments to use as we drive this positive change for seafarers’ lives. ℹ️ Read the Policies here: shorturl.at/9SYNW #DayoftheSeafarer2026 @IMOHQ
