The “Maritime Cyprus 2025” Conference is scheduled to take place in Limassol, between 6 and 8 October 2025. The Maritime Cyprus Conference is an established biennial event organised by the Shipping Deputy Ministry in cooperation with the Cyprus Shipping Chamber and the Cyprus Union of Shipowners and has grown into one of the world’s most significant shipping conferences since it was first organized back in 1989.

The Conference brings together more than 1000 participants, including shipowners, shipping executives, maritime innovators, regulators and representatives from leading international organisations, including high-calibre speakers. Maritime Cyprus offers a unique opportunity for attendees to engage with the global maritime community, become familiar with the strong maritime tradition of Cyprus while exploring the dynamic maritime cluster in cosmopolitan Limassol. Our endeavour is for Cyprus to maintain and enhance its role as an advanced, proactive, competitive maritime nation with a positive contribution both in Europe and internationally.
