In Athens, on Tuesday 5 March, the Shipping Deputy Ministry will organise an event to mark the 60th anniversary since the establishment of the Registry of Cyprus Ships.

According to an announcement from the Deputy Ministry, the event will be attended by the Greek maritime community, which has supported and contributed substantially to the development of the Cyprus flag.
