Cooperation between Limassol Municipality and the VTS Vassiliko Terminal Services Ltd & VSS EPE Environmental Protection Service Ltd consortium

The issue of tackling marine pollution is of high priority for the Municipality. The Limassol Municipality, through open tender procedures, contracted the Vassiliko Terminal Services Ltd & VSS EPE Environmental Protection Service Ltd to patrol the sea and beaches of the city for the summer of 2019. The contract was signed on Monday, 20 May 2019 in the presence of the Mayor of Limassol and representatives of the companies.

The services offered by the above consortium include the use of two vessels, specialised means and personnel specialising in matters of marine pollution. The first vessel will patrol the sea area between the boundary of the bathers’ area and the Limassol port’s anchorage, while the second vessel will patrol the coastal road and intervene to tackle any oil spills within the boundaries of the bathers’ area.

The Municipality aims at continuing this great effort, reducing water pollution and improving water quality for the benefit of Limassolians and visitors.
