EDT on a Path of Continuous Growth in the Maritime Sector, Strengthening Its Presence in the Eastern Mediterranean

EDT today employs approximately 500 professionals, with around 170 supporting the company’s operations from shore-based positions
Founded in 1980 as a family-owned enterprise, EDT initially focused on cargo transport, towage and salvage operations. Through a carefully structured diversification strategy, the company gradually evolved into a fully integrated provider of maritime and offshore support services.
The company’s expansion into the oil and gas sector marked a key milestone in its development. Today, EDT offers a broad portfolio of services, including specialised vessel support, shore-based and port infrastructure, ship agency and logistics services, repair facilities for commercial vessels and luxury yachts, offshore energy support, as well as a dedicated aviation services division based in Paphos.
EDT currently operates a fleet of 28 vessels, including multi-purpose support vessels (MPSVs), tugboats, offshore supply and survey vessels, dredgers and cargo barges. The company’s ongoing investment strategy is reflected in the recent delivery of the newly built 85t bp ASD “EDT Aether” from Damen Shipyards.
In 2024, EDT further strengthened its operational capabilities through the acquisition of the deep-sea Anchor Handling Tug “EDT Aeolus” and the DPII MPSV “EDT Prometheus”, along with additional ASD and VSP tugboats for port and terminal operations. These strategic investments reinforce the company’s footprint across the full spectrum of offshore activities, from subsea operations to port and terminal services.
Modern Operations Based in Limassol
EDT today employs approximately 500 professionals, with around 170 supporting the company’s operations from shore-based positions. Its offices are located in Cyprus, Egypt and Israel, while the administrative and operational hub remains firmly based in Limassol.
The company’s organisational structure follows the standards of a modern shipping group, with specialised departments in crewing, technical management, HSEQ, procurement and chartering. Commercial operations are managed by an experienced chartering team, while technical departments ensure strict maintenance standards and full regulatory compliance.
