Deputy Minister of Shipping Mrs Marina Hadjimanoli visited Geneva on June 20 and held a series of meetings in the framework of the promotion of Cyprus shipping and in particular the Cyprus Ship Register.
The Deputy Minister of Shipping met with the founder and President of MSC Group (Mediterranean Shipping Company) Capt. Gianluigi Aponte, with whom she discussed current developments affecting the global shipping industry. MSC is the world's largest company in the container shipping sector and new modern ships, currently under construction, are expected to join its fleet soon. In this context, it has been agreed that the company's fleet will be reinforced with Cyprus-flagged vessels, provided that the framework of services and benefits provided by the Cyprus registry fully meets the conditions and standards set by the company. Ms Hadjimanoli also met with the President of MSC Cruises Mr Pierfrancesco Vago and other executives of the company, where they discussed issues related to the cruise sector and the prospects of strengthening the company's cooperation with the Deputy Ministry of Shipping.
Finally, a meeting was held with the Swiss Shipowners' Association, during which the Deputy Minister of Shipping had the opportunity to present the competitive framework of advantages and services provided by the registration of ships under the Cypriot flag, the establishment of a shipping company in Cyprus, as well as the provisions of the Cypriot tonnage tax system.
