Cyprus Shipping Deputy Ministry launches CYSh1P: A one-stop digital portal for maritime services

The Cyprus Shipping Deputy Ministry (SDM) is proud to announce the official launch of the Cyprus Shipping 1-Stop-Shop Portal (CYSh1P), a centralised digital platform designed to streamline and modernise all SDM maritime services.

CYSh1P provides stakeholders, including shipowners, lawyers, ship managers, seafarers, and classification societies, with easy, centralised access to a comprehensive range of maritime services, including:

  • 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
  • Small and High-Speed Vessel Services

The portal’s services will be introduced in phases. The first set of eServices, launched today, 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
  • Submit applications for the issuance or renewal of Seafarer Training Certificates of Proficiency, Documentary Evidence, and Certificates of Competency (CoC)

With the launch of CYSh1P’s initial eServices, the previous eSAS platform (https://esas.dms.gov.cy/) has been discontinued. Users can no longer submit new applications through eSAS.

Accessing CYSh1P

To use the above two CYSh1P e-services, users must register and enrol in the relevant services:

  • Cyprus-registered companies must use their CY Login account to register. 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.

A detailed User Guide is available on the CYSh1P platform (https://cysh1p.dms.gov.cy/) with 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.
