The Cyprus Shipping Chamber has successfully held its first of two annual blood donation drives.

The 18 June event took place at the Limassol Old Hospital Health Centre as part of the Chamber's charitable activities under the 'Cyprus Shipping Cares' umbrella.

This blood donation was dedicated to the 'International Day of the Seafarer,' which is celebrated annually on 25 June, highlighting the vital role that seafarers play in global shipping and the world economy and prosperity, a Chamber announcement said.

"It is noteworthy that the Chamber has been organising two blood donations every year for the past 32 years, with the continued support of the employees of its Member Shipping Companies, who consistently and voluntarily participate in this important effort.

To date, this important initiative has collected more than 3,300 blood units, making a significant contribution to meeting the needs of Cyprus hospitals and supporting fellow citizens in need," the announcement continued.

Through 'Cyprus Shipping Cares,' the Cyprus Shipping Chamber remains firmly committed to its long-standing philanthropic contribution and continues to actively promote social solidarity both within and beyond the maritime sector, it concluded.
