About Cyprus Ports and Congestion
Cyprus, as a transshipment hub in the eastern Mediterranean, sees regular vessel calls at Limassol and Larnaca ports. Limassol often experiences minor congestion when multiple feeders and mother vessels arrive simultaneously. Container traffic has increased due to rerouting from regional disruptions, placing temporary strain on crane and yard operations. Larnaca, with more limited cargo capacity, remains primarily focused on small-scale trade and offshore support. Berth availability at Limassol is usually well managed, but peak congestion occurs during vessel bunching or delayed departures. The Cyprus Ports Authority is improving real-time berth allocation and investing in reefer and stacking infrastructure to support growing demand.
