Alpha Bank Cyprus sponsored the 9th Capital Link Cyprus Shipping Forum on February 17 at Columbia Plaza in Limassol. This sponsorship boosted its presence in the shipping sector and helped strengthen Cyprus as a global shipping hub.
The event, supported by the Deputy Ministry of Shipping, brought together people from the shipping industry, banking community, and capital markets. They discussed trends in shipping finance, geopolitical changes, energy transition effects, and rising regulatory compliance needs.
During the panel on ship financing conditions, Dr. Nikolaos Kagarakis shared the market outlook. He mentioned that financing is getting tougher, with higher costs and stricter evaluation standards.
There was also a focus on financing tied to sustainability goals and energy transition targets, as environmental standards impact access to capital. The discussion pointed out that fleet quality and companies’ flexibility will shape their financing ability in the future.
By consistently participating in such events, Alpha Bank Cyprus shows its support for the shipping industry and helps create a competitive and sustainable environment for international shipping.
