This was a result of a clause in a Loan granted to the Republic of Cyprus by the World Bank for Reconstruction and Development in 1969, for the construction of (Lemesos) Limassol and Larnaka ports. The Bank had asked for the creation of an independent and flexible organisation free of pubic sector bureaucratic procedures and which could operate on a commercial basis. Cyprus Ports Authority is a Public Sector Entity set up by law and governed by a nine-member Board (Chairman, Vice-Chairman and seven members) appointed by the Council of Ministers for a three-year term. The Board applies the policies of the Government according to the Authority’s legislation. These policies are conveyed and supervised by the Minister of Communication and Works. The Authority is the competent entity to administer, operate and develop the ports, as well as to facilitate international shipping aids and issue licences for pilotage. The Authority has a double role: (a) It exercises public power (b) It provides commercial and financial services In its public power role, the Authority is the owner of the ports and lighthouses as well as being the regulator of port services rendered. Within the framework of this role, the Authority: Plans, develops and manages port infrastructure. Provides licences for the use of port land, and the provision of services in the ports under its jurisdiction. Provides licences for the provision of port services and for the construction of works in port areas. Provides public/non financial activities. As well as the above role, the Authority provides commercial/financial/port services. The main ones are: Ship pilotage Ship towage and mooring Use of gantry cranes and large mobile cranes Reception, storage and delivery of cargo Within the jurisdiction of the Authority are the commercial ports of Lemesos (Limassol) and Larnaka, the old port of Lemesos (Limassol), the Paphos port, the Latchi fishing harbour and the oil terminals at Vassiliko and Moni. Further, the lighthouses at Cape Greco, Cape Kiti, Cape Gata, Paphos and Akamas also come under its jurisdiction.

Berthing Specifications For the purchase of affording service to ships/cargoes and port users, the Authority provides its own modern equipment manned by its own personnel. The floating equipment provided by the Authority for facilitating the mooring of ships is: Tug Boats: "OTHELLO" 1300BHP- Boll pull 16TNS "PRINIAS" 3500BHP- Boll pull 35TNS "ASPELIA" 3500BHP- Boll pull 35TNS Pilot Ships: "ALASIA" "AKAMANTIS" For auxiliary purposes the Authority provides also the "ACHEON AKTI" and the multipurpose boat "NEREUS". The land based equipment for the loading/unloading of cargo includes: Two gantry cranes "Reggianne" of 40 tons hoisting power installed on the eastern quay in 1984. Two gantry cranes "Panamax" by "Ceretti Tanfani" of 40 tons hoisting installed at first on the eastern quay and transferred to the western quay in 1996. Two gantry cranes "Panamax" by "Ceretti Tanfani" of 45 tons hoisting installed on the souhtern quay in 1996. Two mobile cranes DEMAG 27 and DEMAG 28 of 21 tons and 40 tons hoisting power respectively. They are used mainly for loading/unloading of conventional cargo. One mobile crane GOTTWALD of 35 tons hoisting power. One mobile crane on rails STOTHERT & PIT (Luffing Crane) of 35 tons hoisting power which was installed on the western quay in 1974. If the needs of the port are not satisfied by the Authority’s equipment then private licensed cranes are mobilized, for which the Authority levies royalties. For emergency purposes or in the event of interruption of the electricity supply, the Authority equipped itself with a mobile generator of 750KVA capacity and thereafter with yet another three generators of 8KVA, 40KVA and 60KVA capacity, respectively. At Lemesos port there is a medium voltage (11KV) network installed which supplies nine substations through underground cables. Most of the substations of the Authority are on a ring circuit for unimpeded electricity supply.

  • Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean
    th 10 of March 2018 (Concept note #5) Port-2-Port Communication Enabling Short Sea Shipping: Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean by Mikael Lind1, 4, Michael Bergmann1, Sandra Haraldson1, Richard T. Watson1, 2, Michalis Michaelides3, Herodotos Herodotou3, Sotos Voskarides3 1RISE Viktoria, Sweden, 2University of Georgia, USA, 3Cyprus University of Technology, Cyprus, 4Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden Short Sea Shipping (SSS) is commonly defined as commercial waterborne transportation that does not transit an ocean. The EU has a strategic interest in ensuring the continuous performance of SSS. It remains central to the comprehensive strategy for a clean, safe and efficient European transport system set out in the Commission’s 2001 White Paper, European transport policy for 2010: time to decide. Some of the main challenges identified include promoting reliability, quality and safety and removing unnecessary costs and delays at the ports. Cyprus, which is an EU member, being also an island in the Eastern Meditteranean Sea, has an important role to play in this, since more than 90% of its seaborne transport can be classified as SSS. Many ports in the world, including the port of Limassol in Cyprus, seek to become accredited transshipment hubs. This means that large shipments from other Mediter- ranean and Black Sea countries could be consolidated and sent to Cyprus, from where they could be efficiently distributed to various nearby ports, e.g. in Egypt, Israel and other countries in the Middle East, using smaller vessels and SSS operations. To be a successful transshipment hub, a port should be able to plan its operations precisely and ensure relevant information are Figure 1: Limassol EU Port in the Eastern Mediterranean available to visiting ships.

  • Bid from Limassol, Cyprus, Part
    Limassol, CYPRUS, candidate city for the 11th IOC 2020 Cyprus Republic of Cyprus is an island country in the Eastern Mediterranean, off the coasts of Syria and Turkey. Cyprus is the third largest and third most populous island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is located south of Turkey, west of Syria and Paphos Airport Lebanon, northwest of Israel and Palestine, north of Egypt and southeast of Greece. • Limassol (/ˈlɪməsɒl/; Greek: Λεμεσός [lemeˈsos]; Turkish: Limasol or Leymosun; Armenian: Լիմասոլ) is a city on the southern coast of Cyprus and capital of the eponymous district. Limassol is the second largest urban area in Cyprus, with an urban population of 160,000–176,700.[2][3] The municipality is the most populous in the country with 101,000 inhabitants (2011).[1] • The Port of Limassol is one of the busiest ports in the Mediterranean transit trade and the largest port in Cyprus. It has also become one of the most important tourism, trade, and service‐providing centres in the area. Limassol is renowned for its extensive cultural traditions, and is home to the Cyprus University of Technology. A wide spectrum of activities and a number of museums and archaeological sites are available to the interested visitor. Consequently, Limassol attracts a wide range of tourists mostly during an extended summer season to be accommodated in a wide range of hotels and apartments. A large marina lies near the old town, 500 metres (1,600 feet) from the Limassol medieval castle. • Cyprus has two international airports, in Paphos and Larnaka, connecting Cyprus to a large number of cities worldwide.

There follows a presentation of the impacts and proposed mitigation methods for the impacts on the man-made, biological and physical environment. The final section of this chapter sets out the conclusions and recommendations of the Planning Consultants regarding the possibility and method of implementing the Project, taking into account environmental criteria. 2.1. MAN-MADE ENVIRONMENT 2.1.1 Impact on urban planning zones During construction, the building of new roadways and the compulsory purchases which it entails will have a direct impact on urban planning zones. The affected zones are laid out in Table 2.1.
