In view of closing a landmark year for the Chamber, marking its 35th Year Anniversary since its establishment in 1989 and of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, which is celebrated annually on 3 December, the Cyprus Shipping Chamber is organising on Sunday, 8 December, 2024, a Charity 3.5 km “EMBRace Relay” (EveryMoBilityRace) and a 35 km Marathon, where all net proceeds will be donated to the “Pancyprian Organisation of People with Disabilities”.

In this effort, staff from the Shipping Member-Companies of the Chamber and their family members are participating, as well as a small number of young people with disabilities, who will carry the baton together with the Shipping community.

In light of this significant event, which is being organised for the first time by the Chamber, a press conference was held on 5 December 2024, at the Chamber’s office in Limassol. During the press conference, the Chamber’s Director General introduced this new charity initiative and provided an overview of the various business, social and philanthropic activities, the Chamber organised throughout 2024, as part of its 35^th Anniversary celebrations.

Additionally, the Cyprus Shipping Chamber unveiled its new brand name for all its charitable activities: “Cyprus Shipping Cares – CSC”. This new name reflects the commitment of the Shipping Industry through the Chamber’s activities, to continue “caring” and “contributing” tangibly to the Cyprus society.
