Nicosia: The Cyprus Shipping Deputy Ministry (SDM) has unveiled the Cyprus Shipping 1-Stop-Shop Portal (CYSh1P), a centralized digital platform aimed at streamlining and modernizing all maritime services offered by the SDM.
According to Cyprus News Agency, CYSh1P offers stakeholders such as shipowners, lawyers, ship managers, seafarers, and classification societies centralized access to a broad range of maritime services. These services include ship registration and registry transactions, technical and environmental matters for Cyprus-flagged vessels, seafarer training and certification, Tonnage Tax System (TTS) services, and services for small and high-speed vessels.
The portal’s services are being rolled out in phases. The initial set of eServices, launched on Tuesday, 14 October 2025, enables users to submit applications for the issuance of Seafarer Registration Certificates, as well as the issuance or renewal of Seaman’s Books and Endorsements. Users can also submit applications for the issuance or ren
ewal of Seafarer Training Certificates of Proficiency, Documentary Evidence, and Certificates of Competency (CoC).
With the introduction of CYSh1P’s initial eServices, the previous eSAS platform has been discontinued. Users are no longer able to submit new applications through eSAS.
To utilize the initial CYSh1P e-services, users are required to register and enroll in the relevant services. Cyprus-registered companies must register using their CY Login account, while companies without a CY Login account must obtain one as soon as possible. Foreign companies can register directly through the CYSh1P portal.
A comprehensive User Guide is available on the CYSh1P platform, providing step-by-step instructions for registration, profile creation, credentials setup, and service enrollment.
“The SDM is committed to enhancing the efficiency, transparency, and accessibility of Cyprus’ maritime services through digital innovation, ensuring a seamless experience for all stakeholders in the shipping industry,” the press
release states.
