✨ A proud moment for CMMI as the fourth Pyrgotelis Zoitos Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Advancement of Naval Architecture was presented during the Closing Ceremony of European Maritime Day 2026 (EMD) in Limassol by the Shipping Deputy Minister of Cyprus, Ms Marina Hadjimanolis.

👏 to this year’s recipient, Dr Panos Manias, recognised for his outstanding contributions to marine decarbonisation through pioneering research on renewable and low-carbon marine fuel systems and their whole-life environmental impact.

Alongside his research on impactful maritime decarbonisation projects at the University of Southampton, Panos collaborated closely with the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute (SMMI) and CMMI on advancing practical solutions for greener shipping, including onboard carbon capture and storage and contributions to the ZEST vessel design. ⛵🌊

💡 Established and sponsored by CMMI, the Pyrgotelis Zoitos Award celebrates excellence in marine technology and naval architecture while honouring Cyprus’ rich maritime heritage.

💡 Named after Pyrgotelis, son of Zoitos (a Cypriot naval architect honoured in the 3rd century BC for designing and overseeing remarkable vessels of his time) the award reflects a long tradition of maritime ingenuity, innovation, and engineering excellence. ⚓

Congratulations once again, Panos!
