Services provided include ship registration and registry transactions, transactions related to technical (safety and security) and environmental matters for Cyprus-Flagged Vessels, seafarer training and certification, Tonnage Tax System (TTS) Services and Small and High-Speed Vessel Services.
The portal’s services will be introduced in phases. The first set of eServices, launched on Tuesday, 14 October 2025, and it 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 and to submit applications for the issuance or renewal of Seafarer Training Certificates of Proficiency, Documentary Evidence, and Certificates of Competency (CoC).

Companies that do not have a company CY Login account must obtain one the soonest possible. Foreign companies can register directly through the CYSh1P portal.
