[01] Government to extent support to Cyprus shipping industry, Minister
says
The merchant shipping industry is a promising sector of the Cyprus
economy, which the government aims to support further, Minister of
Communications and Works Tasos Mitsopoulos said on Wednesday.
Speaking in the southern coastal city of Limassol, where he visited
the headquarters of the Department of Merchant Shipping, Mitsopoulos
said government support would take the form of additional tax and other
incentives.
"The Cyprus flag flying on our merchant ships is the best Ambassador of
the Republic of Cyprus abroad" the Minister noted, in statements after
the visit. He added that the Cyprus flag is listed among the most reliable
flags in the world and the Cypriot fleet is a trusted and credible one.
