Cyprus

  • Overview

Our Cyprus Branch, primarily based in Limassol, is an extremely active local community of marine enthusiasts. The island is a leading maritime centre and international hub for business and commerce. The Branch hosts an impressive range of technical presentations throughout the year as well as regular social events, providing excellent opportunities to encounter other marine professionals in the region. The year of exciting events culminates with a grand Dinner Dance weekend in October as well as an annual golf tournament.
