Syros Island is the capital of the Cyclades' Archipelago in the central of Aegean Sea and only a few miles from the Port of Piraeus. This island proved to be the most perfect location for bunkering (at anchorage), provisioning, dry-docking and various other vessel's operations because it is on the top of the crossroads of numerous international shipping lanes, such as the Mediterranean-Black Sea route, a few hours from the Suez-Gibraltar route and only five hours steaming from the main sea lane to the Adriatic.
