On the occasion of the celebration of World Seafarers' Day, the Cyprus Ports Authority stresses the most important role that our seafarers play, connecting the seas, maritime transport with our society, development and interconnectivity. The President of the Cyprus Ports Authority Dr. Antonis St. Stylianou said. The decision of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) to establish 25 June as a day for seafarers precisely recognises the role of seafarers and is a day of honour for their action and contribution. As the Cyprus Ports Authority, we welcome seafarers to our ports every day and all year round and recognise their contribution to shipping."
The theme of this year's day is about connecting the past with the present and the future, highlighting issues related to the blue economy and the green transition and recognising the conditions in which our seafarers work. It is stressed that the sector is not saturated and is open to men and women with many opportunities for employment and activity. "Every seafarer's journey is obviously different but what unites our seafarers is our common sea," Dr. Stylianou concludes his statement.
