Figures are aggregated from deliveries tracked on Shyppy, measured against the arrival date the carrier first quoted, before any revisions. Groups smaller than two deliveries per lane or three per carrier are not shown. The sample is small and grows with every delivery, so treat it as a guide rather than a benchmark.
The Cypriot ports
Limassol (UN/LOCODE CYLMS)
Cyprus's main cargo port and the island's container gateway. Most deep-sea and feeder container services call here, and it is where the majority of import and export containers are handled. See ships in Limassol now.
Larnaca (CYLCA)
A smaller port on the south-east coast. For air freight, Larnaca International Airport (LCA) is the island's main cargo gateway. See ships at Larnaca now.
Vasiliko (CYVAS)
An industrial and energy port on the south coast between Limassol and Larnaca, used mainly for fuels and bulk cargo. See ships at Vasiliko now.
Common questions
Do shipments to Cyprus transship?
Often. Many container services reach Cyprus on a feeder vessel after transshipment at an Eastern Mediterranean hub such as Port Said or Piraeus. Delays at the hub are a common reason for late arrival, so it helps to track which vessel your container is on at each leg. Shyppy shows the vessel carrying your container and its live position.
Is Cyprus inside the EU customs union?
Yes. Goods entering Cyprus from outside the EU are declared to Cyprus Customs and are subject to EU customs rules, including advance cargo information requirements.
How do I avoid demurrage in Limassol?
Know your free days and the date the clock starts. Shyppy starts a countdown at the carrier's discharge event, alerts you before free time runs out, and produces an evidence pack if you need to dispute an invoice. Read the demurrage and detention guide.
How do I track a parcel to or from Cyprus?
Use the tracking number from the courier. Shyppy covers Cyprus Post and more than 1,500 couriers. See Cyprus Post tracking.
