- The postponement for three months of the increase in berthing fees for boats at Marina L/kas.
- The provision of space at the entrance of the Marina for free placement of signs with advertisements of tourist boats.
- In mediation with the Mayor Andreas Vyra, to move the coasters' kiosks to a prominent position on Athens Avenue, so that they can promote their product and attract customers. The Mayor's response was positive for consultation with the coastguards.
The above does not differ from what was discussed and agreed upon in the last meeting with the Pan-Cypriot Union of Seafarers and was repeated yesterday during the mediation of the DG of Transport Minister Yiannis Nicolaidis, whose intervention eased the tension and ended the closure of the port, a move that which could have been avoided.
We reiterate our position on the danger of the dock, which has been turned into a construction site, which is why the upgrade will be carried out in stages, respecting all safety rules. Our appeal is that the use of the runway is strictly without deviations.
We consider the coastal shipping companies as key partners and no one wishes or seeks their removal from the Larnaca Marina. We apologize for any inconvenience which is justified in the context of the construction of one of the largest developments in Cyprus.
Our company will continue to inform those affected and the citizens about the progress of the works by phases and will announce promptly any changes that arise. Our effort is focused on continuing the completion of the ambitious project that will have multiple benefits for the city of Larnaca and for our country.
