Over the past five decades, the Cyprus shipping cluster has experienced remarkable growth. Cyprus is at the forefront of global shipping with a fully functional and innovative department of merchant shipping, a new EU approved tonnage tax regime and a committed resident shipping industry.
The island is one of the largest ship management centers in the world and the Cyprus registry fleet ranks among the top 10 worldwide and among the top three in Europe. The global shipping industry faces a number of challenges, including the continued impact of the financial crisis, commodity prices, piracy attacks and environmental regulations. Nonetheless, shipping remains a critical industry to the global economy and Cyprus is expected to continue to play a prominent role as a leading maritime centre.

Shipping Insights Briefing – Issue 3, 2015
Current mergers and acquisition (M&A) activities in the shipping and ports sector tell us two different stories: Shipping liners are focusing more on alliances and resource sharing, instead of engaging in M&A. On the other hand, M&A activity is gaining momentum within the shipping terminals sector, as investors are focusing on strategic buying options. This report looks at the rationale behind these trends.
