Every two years the Ministry of Communications and Works and its Department of Merchant Shipping in cooperation with the Cyprus Shipping Chamber, organise the Maritime Cyprus Conference, which has grown into one of the world’s most significant and most attended shipping conferences. Its status now gives it a prominent position in the calendar of many shipping executives, including owners and managers as well as those in charge of organisations with shipping related activities.
The Maritime Cyprus 2009 Conference, which is the eleventh since it was first established in 1989, will have as a main theme “A Changing Climate: Emerging Opportunities”. As the theme suggests the Conference will focus on the present situation and the future prospects in Shipping and will analyze the dynamic parameters of the international economy and its effect on shipping. In the stream of international reputation, the parameters relating to environmental issues will also debated as well as any positive signs for the future.
Distinguished guests such as the IMO Secretary General, H.E. Adm. Efthymios Mitropoulos and the Vice -President of the European Commission and Transport Commissioner H.E. Mr. Antonio Tajani will address the conference and world class experts will analyze and discuss specialised issues of concerns to the shipping industry.
The main aim of the “Maritime Cyprus Conference” is to operate as a forum where important and current issues relating to international shipping are presented by distinguished speakers and subsequently discussed by the international shipping community, thereby helping to formulate sound and well balanced decisions and policies on crucial shipping issues.
The “Maritime Cyprus Conference “offers also the opportunity to the participants to become familiar with the strong maritime tradition of Cyprus, its people and its environment. Its complete shipping infrastructure constitutes an invaluable asset, both for the expanded Europe and for the international shipping community in general.
