Vassilios Demetriades, former Shipping Deputy Minister to the President in Cyprus and Project Full Circle’s Global Ambassador, recently visited the UK for an engaging four-day trip. Vassilios's productive visit underscored the strong international ties and collaborative spirit driving our ambitious project. The boat's home will be in Limassol, Cyprus, where it will embark on its historic world record attempt.
