Shipping: Cyprus to moved to Paris MOU white list

The Executive Committee of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding on port state control (Paris MOU) has decided that Cyprus must be removed from the Grey to the White List of the Memorandum.

The Committee, which met Wednesday, recognised the significant improvement Cyprus has achieved concerning the security standards of the Cyprus fleet and the drastic reduction of detentions of Cyprus ships.

A press release issued said that the Committee also decided that Cyprus will be from now on a regular member of the Paris MOU.

“This fact consists an independent evidence and supports even more the picture of Cyprus as a serious and reliable navigational country,” the press release added.
