11 November 1999
To all Owners, Managers and Representatives of vessels, flying the Cyprus Flag
I wish to inform you that the Government of the Republic has decided to amend its policy on the registration of vessels in the Cyprus Register of Ships.
The new policy, which is attached herewith, will enter into force on 1.1.2000.
In drafting this policy, several factors have been taken into consideration, such as the results of the Acquis Screening with the European Commission, in the course of the accession negotiations of Cyprus with the European Union, recent amendments to our legislation as well as problems encountered during the implementation of the existing policy.
The new policy is more comprehensive and aims at the enhancement of the quality of the Cyprus Flag Fleet.
Please bear in mind that all relevant documentary evidence mentioned therein must accompany the application for registration, otherwise it will be kept in abeyance as an incomplete document.
Attention should also be drawn to the provisions of PART II where the requirements with regard to age, ownership, management and inspection are elaborated.

Director
