by News Editor

Maintaining Excellence in Water Quality

Recently, in Cyprus, concerns regarding potential pollution at Lady’s Mile beach were addressed swiftly by the Department of the Environment. Inspections confirmed that the waters remain safe and of top-notch quality, alleviating public concerns about contamination.

Collaborations with health services and the State General Laboratory involve stringent checks. Water samples revealed no contamination, which not only demonstrates Cyprus’s outstanding water quality standards but also underscores the efficacy of the island’s environmental protocols.

Comprehensive Monitoring Systems

The island’s systematic surveillance covers 123 aquatic sites from May to October, including three spots in Lady’s Mile. The approach ensures the detection of enterococci bacteria and Escherichia coli through regular assessments.

Cyprus’ water monitoring practices comply with the European Directive 2006/7/EC, demonstrating Cyprus’ commitment to maintaining high standards in its recreational waters.

Response and Public Engagement

In the case of pollution events, response measures include retesting within 72 hours, providing public advisories, and potential beach closures if necessary, always aiming for transparency through online data publication.

Public interaction is encouraged, inviting citizens to report any pollution concerns to the dedicated helpline at 7000 4055, ensuring an inclusive environmental stewardship.

Highlighted Beach Areas

Key locations like Ayia Napa, Paralimni, and Limassol all benefit from these robust monitoring practices, safeguarding Cyprus’ tourism and swimmers’ health.

Greek Tankers Transit Hormuz As Shipping Risks Rise In Gulf And Black Sea

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

Two tankers linked to George Prokopiou passed through the Strait of Hormuz as regional tensions continue to affect shipping routes in the Gulf.

Safe Passage Through Hormuz

The tanker Smyrni, operated by Dynacom Tankers Management, was observed off the coast of Mumbai on Saturday morning after its earlier positioning in the Persian Gulf. The vessel, like its predecessor Shenlong, temporarily disabled its transponder during transit, a common practice in these narrow channels under uncertain conditions.

Robust Market Commitments

Despite reduced shipping traffic through the strait, Dynacom has continued expanding its fleet. The company recently ordered four additional VLCC tankers from Hengli Heavy Industry. Each vessel will have a capacity of 300,000 deadweight tonnes. With the new order, Dynacom’s VLCC program in Chinese shipyards now totals 16 vessels.

Security Incident In The Black Sea

In a separate incident, the Greek-flagged tanker Maran Homer sustained minor damage near Novorossiysk in the Black Sea. The vessel is operated by Maran Tankers Management, part of the shipping group controlled by Maria Angelicoussis.

Reports indicated the ship was struck by a missile or drone about 14 nautical miles from the port. The crew of 24, including Greek, Filipino and Romanian sailors, was not injured. The vessel, which was not carrying cargo, continued sailing under its own power.
