The Malta Maritime Attractions

Straddling the main Mediterranean shipping lanes, a call at Malta means no deviation from a planned voyage.

Malta’s coastline is well indented with natural Harbours as well as established ports. Historically, these ports have established the islands as a centre for Mediterranean Commerce, combining old world charm with modern facilities. At the centre of countless shipping routes, these ports provide a wide variety of professional shipping services of value to major commercial entities. The Grand Harbour of Valletta is Malta’s main port, one of the most spectacular natural deep water harbours in the Mediterranean. This port, girdled as it is by an uninterrupted line of historic fortifications of massive proportions, is becoming an ever increasingly popular port for cruise passengers and the related ever growing cruise industry. The Malta Freeport, situated at the south eastern tip of Malta, has become an important transhipment centre in the Mediterranean. Apart from acting as a safe and secure haven for seafaring vessels of all types and sizes, the Grand harbour and Malta Freeport also offers a comprehensive service covering all maritime requirements, service that reflects the care, commitment and knowledge that the Maltese maritime community is today well renowned for.

Once in Malta, the Valletta Grand Harbour has established itself with no navigational difficulties.

Containers are also unloaded but the bulk is handled in the Freeport.
