The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works is pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached with the Container Terminal Manager of the Port of Limassol for lower charges on the import and export of containers containing low value products.
Specifically, the charges agreed are €150 per 20-foot container and €213 per 40-foot container. The general container handling charges were €214 per 20-foot container and €328 per 40-foot container, with a reduction of €64 and €115 respectively. This agreement ensures the continuation of exports and imports of recyclable materials, bentonite and other recyclable materials, which due to their sensitive value were significantly affected.
The Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Mr. Yannis Karousos, welcomes the agreement and thanks all parties for their constructive attitude in the consultation, which led to the positive outcome. "The reduction of the reported charges has long been a priority for the Ministry and is a very important development at this time. The agreement that has been reached resolves yet another problem amidst the pressure on the Cypriot economy due to the increases caused by global inflation. Aware of the difficulties, the Government will continue, with dedication, to take all actions for a better and cheaper service for the users of the Ports, the affected businesses and especially the citizens".
