Cyprus has a long history for an established shipping industry with well-founded infrastructure and services that enable the country to successfully meet the high demands of today’s globalised shipping industry.

One of the key elements is of course the tax legislation in Cyprus, which is one of the most competitive world-wide, leading to a strong growth in the sector. Cyprus is home to some of the world’s largest international ship management companies who have established their headquarters on the island, offering a high-level of professional services and Cyprus is now recognised as one of the most attractive shipping and ship management centres in the world.
