Cyprus: Shipping showing resilience, helping economy
The shipping sector showed “tremendous resilience” in supporting the Cypriot economy amid the coronavirus pandemic; President Nicos Anastasiades told the annual meeting of shipowners and shipmanagers.
He praised the maritime community in his address to the virtual annual general meeting of the Cyprus Shipping Chamber.
“Our country’s maritime sector managed to maintain its competitiveness and has preserved shipping as one of the main pillars of our economy.”
Anastasiades said that shipping continues to contribute approximately 7% to Cyprus’ GDP, “significantly enhancing our efforts for the observed recovery and growth of the economy.”
He commended the shipping industry “for its leading role in efforts to overcome this unprecedented crisis by keeping supply chains open and maritime trade moving, ensuring the timely availability of essential goods and necessary medical equipment and supplies.”
Dutch vessel provider Glomar Offshore and UK subsea specialist Rovco have launched investigations into allegations that crew working in the UK offshore wind industry are being paid less than the minimum wage, a potential breach of regulations governing seafarer pay.
Both companies confirmed to reNEWS they are probing the circumstances aboard the Glomar Wave vessel, which is owned by the Den Helder-based outfit and is currently under charter to Rovco.
Glomar Offshore chief operating officer Jan-Wouter Thijssen said an official from the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) boarded the vessel earlier this week. Maritime union RMT, which is affiliated with the ITF, claims crew on the Panamanian registered ship are being paid a day rate of £47.35.
