On 23 May 2019 the Deputy Ministry of Shipping via Circular 10/2019 updated its policy on the eligibility of ships registered under the Cyprus flag.

In general, ships of any type or size may be registered in the Register of Cyprus Ships or the Special Book of Parallel Registration, provided that the applicable age and type-related requirements specified below are satisfied.(1)

The new policy stipulates additional requirements beyond those in the Merchant Shipping Registration of Ships, Sales and Mortgages Law(2) for registering ships and should therefore be read in conjunction with the relevant legal provisions.
