Shipping Deputy Ministry releases circular on Covid-19 provisional measures

The Shipping Deputy Ministry has released its latest circular on the provisional measures it has enacted to counter the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the shipping industry.

The document contains a detailed breakdown of all measures concerning ‘Registered Owners, Registered Bareboat Charterers, Managers and Representatives of Ships flying the Cyprus Flag’.

This follows the initial announcement from the Deputy Ministry on March 27th, where it was first stated that the date of payment of the Cyprus Registry Maintenance Annual Fee and the tonnage tax of Cyprus ships would be extended.

The full circular (titled: ‘Urgent Provisional Measures for the operation of Cyprus ships during the Covid-19 outbreak’) can be found here.

 

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
