The Group
suffered a major setback in 1974 due to the Turkish invasion of Cyprus
resulting to the occupation of Famagusta town.This had catastrophic effects on
the Group as all its assets and facilities were lost. The Group having as the
only ammunition its long experience and reputation as well as the support of its
clients restarted its operation in Limassol Port where it established the FAMA
Group Shipyard, the only shipyard in Cyprus, with a floating dock that was
built by the yard to LLoyd's Register. The Shipyard covers all scope of ship
repairing activity with extensive fabrication and construction support
