As a global shipping hub, Cyprus continues to champion the high standards of safety, operational efficiency,
and environmental stewardship across the maritime industry. Central to this commitment is the robust
framework of maritime training, particularly for vessels proudly flying the Cyprus flag. At QMS MTC, one of
the first approved and accredited Maritime Training Centers by Cyprus DMS since 2000, we are dedicated to
fostering a culture of continuous learning and professional development, ensuring that seafarers on an EU or
Cyprus flagged vessel are equipped with the most current and critical skills demanded by today’s complex
maritime landscape and receive CoP certification as per the Cyprus Flag best practice standards.
The modern maritime environment is characterized by rapid technological advancements, evolving
regulatory requirements, and an increasing emphasis on human factors. For vessels under the Cyprus or EU
flag ships, adherence to international conventions like STCW, coupled with the national maritime
administration’s rigorous oversight, means that top-tier, flag-specific training is not just a recommendation but
a necessity. QMS MTC training programs are meticulously designed to meet and exceed these stringent
requirements, reflecting Cyprus’s proactive approach to maritime safety and excellence.
