FROM THE EDITOR
Malta Maritime Directory: up-to-date and comprehensive information The maritime industry's contribution to Malta's economic wellbeing is far more important than its enviable statistics can suggest. Apart from income derived from direct commerce into and out of it, the external rings that surround it generate high turnovers, and are extremely difficult to collectively emulate outside of our shores. Hence, the income being generated is stable as well as ample. But this massive significance is not what makes the maritime industry so important. The thing is that it can unknowingly choke the necks of most of our importers and exporters with one wicked throttle; operational inefficiency would be immediately felt by the users of the sector, and hence imports would become costlier to the locally-based consumer, whilst our manufacture would be delivered at higher pricing. This must be one of the predominant reasons as to why our Government is working so avidly towards its constant improvement and sustenance.

Launched in 2001, the scope of Malta Maritime Directory, Malta's established publication for the maritime sector, has always been to provide the users of the maritime industry with up-to-date and comprehensive information on the industry's key stakeholders; and on the industry itself. Whilst the heart of the Directory remains in print, we have this year released it online via the web site's search engine as well as in digital format. All entries within the printed Directory are hence searchable online. Further improvements to our online endeavours are to be expected. My thanks go to our contributors who have provided us with an overview of key industry factors, as well as to our advertisers who have once again facilitated the publishing of the Directory. I hope that you will find Malta Maritime Directory to be a yet better tool for your shipping, logistics and general maritime requirements than it has ever been.

FROM THE MINISTER
Malta: a centre of maritime excellence The maritime industry in Malta plays an important role in Malta’s modern dynamic economy. Its contribution to economic activity has also been increasing over the past years and prospects for the future are healthy. Malta has today established itself as a quality maritime jurisdiction in which leading players in the sector are increasingly showing their confidence. The maritime industry is a sector which is presenting many opportunities for the Maltese islands. It is now one of the fastest growing sectors of the Maltese economy and the Government is committed to continue expanding on it. Political stability, EU membership, a clear commitment to support business development of high added value services, an attractive fiscal regime, a well respected flag, a robust legislative framework and an efficient administration create the right environment for this industry to be further consolidated and prosper. They all have a pivotal role in defining and achieving our target for Malta to become a centre of maritime excellence. Based on the results registered so far and our trust in Malta and its people, the Government is well aware that Malta has a natural potential to continue consolidating its position as an excellent leading maritime centre in the Mediterranean. Its geographical and strategic position, natural ports and traditional maritime culture shall serve as a very strong basis on which Malta can further build and get moving on this ambitious project and objective. One can say, with confidence that maritime will continue to have a central role to play in Malta’s economy in order to achieve sustainable development. This is because shipping and ports are vital links in the global supply chain, the complex mechanism without which today’s inter-dependent, global economy would be simply unable to function. The maritime industry is one of the top priorities for Government. We have worked hard over the years to achieve this success. However, we cannot lie on our laurels and shall continue to strive to make our maritime and economic environment even more conducive to attract more institutions to operate from Malta. Our guiding principle remains that of offering the most competitive and effective legal framework in the world. This will be achieved only through healthy cooperation with the private industry. The Hon. Joe Mizzi is Malta's Minister for Transport and Infrastructure.

Registration of Ships under the Maltese FLag Vessel registration under the Malta flag and the operation of Maltese ships is regulated by the Merchant Shipping Act of 1973, a law based mainly on United Kingdom legislation but subsequently revised and amended in 1986, 1988, 1990, 2000 and 2010. The main legislation is supplemented by a comprehensive set of rules and regulations. Advantages include: Ships may be registered in the name of legally constituted corporate bodies or entities irrespective of nationality, or by a European Union citizen Reputable and internationally recognised ship register 24 hour, 7 days a week service European Flag with a long maritime tradition On the White List of the Paris MoU and Tokyo MoU and on the Low Risk Ship List of the Paris MoU No nationality restrictions for master, officers and crew No trading restrictions and preferential treatment to Maltese ships in certain ports
Marriages can be officiated onboard Maltese ships A clear strategic political vision supporting business and the maritime industry Availability of a whole range of maritime services including very reputable and experienced legal and corporate services supporting registration, management and administration Backing of a professional shipping registry that values long term customer relationships
years are required to successfully undergo an inspection by an authorised flag state inspector before or within one month of provisional registration. Registration procedure A vessel is first registered provisionally under the Malta flag for six months (extendable for a further period, or periods, not exceeding in the aggregate six months) during which period all documentation needs to be finalised. The requirements for provisional registration are:
Eligibility for registration All types of vessels, from pleasure yachts to oil rigs, including vessels under construction, may be registered, provided that, inter alia, they are wholly owned by legally constituted corporate bodies or entities irrespective of nationality, or by European Union citizens.
Application for registration by the owner or an authorised representative, including, if required, application for change of name of ship
The formation of a Maltese company is a straightforward operation; there are no nationality requirements as to the shareholders or directors.
In the case of non-Maltese owners, appointment of a resident agent
Proof of qualification to own a Maltese ship; in the case of a body corporate, the document of incorporation
No hidden costs and no inspection fees Customer service oriented approach that values long term customer relationships Well-organised and highly responsive flag Administration with one of the largest registers in the world and very active in European Union fora and international organisations Maltese requirements well known to main shipyards and main classification societies
www.maltamaritimedirectory.com
As a rule, trading ships of 25 years and over are not registered. Ships of 15 years and over are required to successfully undergo an authorised flag State inspection prior to provisional registration. Ships of 10 years and over but under 15
Where applicable, copy of the current ship’s International Tonnage Certificate Declaration of ownership made in front of the Registrar by the owner or an authorised representative Evidence of seaworthiness; in the case of trading ships, confirmation of class with a

recognised organisation, and information of the ship’s statutory certification including Company ISM compliance Where applicable, request for the Administration to authorise the appropriate recognised classification society to issue the ship’s and the Company statutory certificates Where applicable, application for Minimum Safe Manning Certificate Payment of initial registration fees and annual tonnage tax. Application for Ship Radio Station Licence The following documents are to be submitted during provisional registration: Where there was previous ownership, a bill of sale or any other document by which the vessel was transferred to the applicant for registry; otherwise a builder’s certificate in the name of the applicant Where applicable, cancellation of registry certificate issued by the Administration where the vessel was last documented In the cases of SOLAS ships, copy of the last updated Continuous Synopsis
www.maltamaritimedirectory.com
Record issued by the Administration where the ship was last documented. Certificate of Survey and a copy of the International Tonnage Certificate issued by an approved surveyor of ships Evidence that the vessel has been marked in accordance with law Where valid appropriate convention certificates are not in place the ship will be issued with a non-operational certificate of registry. A certificate of Malta registry is subject to renewal on the anniversary of the Maltese registration. Bareboat Charter Registration Maltese law provides both for bareboat charter registration of foreign ships under the Malta flag and also for the bareboat charter registration of Maltese ships under a foreign flag. The main principles adopted at law are the compatibility of the two registries and that matters regarding title over the ship, mortgages and encumbrances are governed by the underlying registry, while the operation of the vessel falls under jurisdiction of the bareboat charter registry. Within these parameters, those ships
registered under the bareboat charter registry in Malta enjoy the same rights and privileges, and have the same obligations, as any other ship registered in Malta. A bareboat charter registration shall be for the duration of the bareboat charter or until the expiry date of the underlying registration, whichever is the shorter, but in no case for a period exceeding two years. Registration may be extended. The requirements and registration procedure for bareboat charter registration in Malta are similar to a normal registration, except that: Ship is bareboat chartered to a body corporate, entity or such other person qualified to own a Maltese ship Ship is not a Maltese ship, and is registered in a compatible registry Ship is not registered in another bareboat registry. The following documents need to be produced: • Application for registration by the charterer or an authorised representative • Declaration of bareboat charter accompanied by the charter agreement

• Transcript or an extract of the underlying registration • Copy of the ship’s International Tonnage Certificate • Consent in writing of the underlying registry, owners and mortgagees. Registration fees and annual tonnage tax for bareboat charter registration are the same as those applicable for normal registration. Ships under construction Maltese law provides for the registration of vessels that are being built or equipped. The requirements relating, inter alia, to survey and safety of ships already built and to the declaration of ownership where the builders have not yet effected delivery to owners will be suspended until construction is completed or until delivery has been made. Vessels to be classed as trading ships are to be built under the supervision of a recognised organisation. Commercial Yachts Yachts in commercial use, which do not carry cargo and do not carry more than 12 passengers, can be registered as commercial yachts. Maltese law is very advantageous for the operation of commercial yachts. A Commercial Yacht Code setting the required standards of safety and pollution prevention can be downloaded from www.transport.gov.mt/ superyacht-registration International Conventions Malta has adopted all the major international maritime conventions including: CLC 92, Tonnage 69, COLREG 72, Fund 92, INMARSAT, LLMC 1996 Protocol, Load Lines 66 (including 1988 Protocol), London Convention 72, MARPOL 73/78,
SOLAS 74/78 (including 1988 Protocol), STCW 78 as amended, 2002 Protocol to Athens 74, Bunkers 01, AFS 01, SUA 88 (including SUA Protocol 1988), SAR 79, FAL 65, OPRC 90 and OPRC-HNS Protocol 00, WRC 07 and ILO Conventions Nos. 87, 98, 108, 138, and 180 and MLC2006. For a ship to operate under the Malta flag it must carry at all times valid statutory certificates issued on behalf of the Malta government by a recognised organisation. Recognised organisations Survey, tonnage and convention certificates may be issued on behalf of the Malta government by the following recognised organisations: American Bureau of Shipping, Bureau Veritas, China Classification Society, ClassNK, DNVGL, Korean Register of Shipping, Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, Polish Register of Shipping, Registro Italiano Navale and Russian Maritime Register of Shipping. Manning and certification of seafarers Maltese ships are subject to the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act, ancillary regulations and the STCW 78 Convention (as amended) regarding the manning and certification of seafarers. There are no restrictions on the nationality of the master, officers and crew engaged on Maltese ships. Foreign certificates issued in terms of the STCW 78 Convention require an endorsement issued by the Maltese Administration attesting their recognition. A Minimum Safe Manning Certificate will be issued by the Administration. Mortgages Registration, transfer, amendment and discharge of mortgages may be effected immediately on presentation of the relative
documents to the Registrar. The 1986, 1988, 1990 and 2000 amendments introduced important safeguards in respect of registered mortgages thus making financing of Maltese ships more attractive. Closure of registry The registry of a Maltese ship may be closed at the request of the owners provided all liabilities and obligations in respect of the ship towards the State of Malta have been fulfilled and the consent of all registered mortgagees is produced. Cancellation of registry by the Administration for non-compliance with the provisions of the law may also be effected after adequate time has been given to the owners to regularise matters and for the financiers to take the necessary action to protect their interests. Further information The text of relevant Maltese laws, including subsidiary legislation currently in force may be downloaded from: www.transport.gov. mt/ship-registration/legislation From time to time the Merchant Shipping Directorate issues Merchant Shipping Notices to give information, expound on procedures and communicate the parameters for the exercise of discretionary powers (www.transport.gov.mt/shipregistration/notices).

Port Management and Development INTRODUCTION Ports, which are the lifeline of the Maltese Islands, are an integral part of the maritime industry, which is one of the mainstays of the local economy. The importance of maritime activities has increased with the recent developments in the leisure markets and the international shipping services. This is of great benefit for the country and its economy by the generation of foreign investment and employment. In fact it is estimated that the whole maritime sector generates about 14% of the local GDP and 10% of employment. These maritime activities may be divided into three groups: • activities which are aimed at supporting the local industry and consumers, namely import/export of cargo and ferry passenger operations, and the carriage of goods and passengers between the islands; • activities which are essentially based on the excellent geographical location of Malta, including transhipment, cruise shipping, ship servicing, bunkering, ship repair and yachting; • activities related to local industries such as tourism, fishing, aquaculture, international maritime events and water sports.

PORT FACILITIES IN THE GRAND HARBOUR Traditionally, the Port of Valletta was the only developed port to handle all goods imported to and exported from the island, all sea passenger traffic, and vessels arriving for repairs, bunkering, provisions and other maritime services. The Grand Harbour has experienced a radical change as a result of initiatives taken in the 1980s, directed at transforming Malta into a regional Mediterranean hub. The introduction of new shipping trends and large specialised container vessels meant that for Malta to take advantage of its position at the crossroads of numerous shipping routes, a new facility for containers had to be built at the Port of Marsaxlokk. One of the main challenges for the further development of the Grand Harbour is the lack of hinterland. Surrounded as it is by historical sites, land-based industries and residential areas, there is little room for expansion. However, recent plans developed by the Authority and the Government have resulted in an upgraded and new infrastructure for the port in order to take advantage of the increased cargo and passenger traffic in the Mediterranean.
GENERAL CARGO-HANDLING FACILITIES The Port of Valletta is furnished with a series of multipurpose quays capable of handling all types of cargo. A number of terminals and open storage facilities are available throughout the port area. The average cargo throughput for the Port of Valletta is 2.3 million tons per annum. The main multi-purpose cargo terminal operator in the port of Valletta is the Valletta Gateway Terminals, which is a company formed between the Singapore company Portek and the Maltese conglomerate Tumas Group. The concession, which started on 1 July 2006, allows VGT to handle containers, trailers, break bulk and cars at the Deep Water Quay, Laboratory Wharf and Magazine Wharf. VGT has invested heavily in upgrading the cargohandling equipment, particularly that related to the handling of containers. Through its marketing approach it has succeeded in attracting new business to the port of Valletta, particularly the transhipment of unitised cargo and vehicles. The 488-metre-long Deep Water Quay facility with its 3 sheds offering a covered storage area of 3000m2 has the major part of its superstructure constructed on piles. It was built in the early 1960s when

the majority of cargo was handled in small packages and therefore there are strict weight limitations. During the last ten years it was mainly used to handle containers and trailers carried on ferry vessels.
facilities, the recycling of goods stored inside the bins, fumigation and a computerised temperature-monitoring system installed inside each of the terminal’s thirty storage bins.
GRAIN SILOS Situated in the middle of the Mediterranean, Malta lies on the major sea routes and is located in the natural deep-draught Valletta Grand Harbour. Kordin Grain Terminal is well positioned to accommodate any transhipment functions which aim to serve the countries for the whole Mediterranean basin. The Kordin facility is therefore placed in a most strategic location for the handling, storage and transhipment of all types of freeflowing grains such as wheat, maize, barley and soyabean reaching the Mediterranean from the main grain-producing countries.
The plants are operated and maintained by qualified teams of personnel including engineers, technicians, fitters and trained operators, in order to provide the most efficient grain-handling operations.
KGT’s Storage facility consists of 30 bins; 18 large bins with capacity of 3,800 metric tons each and 12 smaller bins of 1,600 tons each. Therefore total capacity is 88,000 metric tons. Each bin is equipped with a computerised product temperature monitoring system. The Kordin Terminal is equipped with a range of Buhler installations including a mobile mechanical bulk ship unloader with a maximum unloading capacity of 1,100 mtph; a mechanical railmounted ship loader with a peak loading capacity of 1,250 mtph; and direct ship-to-ship transfer facilities without the need to intake into silo. Other facilities at the terminal include automatic weighing
www.maltamaritimedirectory.com
KGT is also serviced by a berthing quay (Laboratory / Magazine Wharf) with an overall length of 443 metres. Magazine Wharf, which is 222 metres long, is allocated for the unloading of vessels while Laboratory Wharf, which is 221 metres long, is used for vessel loading. These two berths have adequate depths for the berthing of oncoming and outgoing vessels. In fact, the terminal can accept fully-laden Panamax grain bulk carriers of up to 80,000 DWT and can load coasters and feeder vessels of up to 20,000 DWT. CEMENT SILOS With the increased level of importation of cement in Malta, the Authority has a concession agreement with two cement importers who had invested in their own silo facilities. OIL AND BUNKERING FACILITIES Malta has established itself as a bunkering centre in the Mediterranean, challenging traditional stations such as Gibraltar, Augusta and Ceuta.
Since the liberalisation of the licensing of bunker operations in 1996 the bunkering activity has grown rapidly, exceeding 1 million tons of delivered fuels every year. SHIP REPAIR The major ship repair facility within the Grand Harbour has for many years been the Malta Shipyards. The Grand Harbour also houses three private ship repair yards – Bezzina Ship Repair Yard, Cassar Ship Repair Yard and Melita Shipyards Ltd. All companies are equipped with shore workshops and floating docks and operate in accordance with agreements entered into with the Authority for sea and land concessions. The repair facilities within French Creek where 3 docks are located, with the largest capable of handling vessels of about 330 metres, has been privatised and is being operated by Palumbo Shipyards, a company established in 1967 and operating similar facilities in Naples and Messina. PASSENGER HANDLING The operator of passenger-handling facilities in Valletta is the Valletta Cruise Port, which is a private consortium mainly made up of local enterprise but also including participation from international companies. The company has been granted an operational licence and a lease for the operation and development of passengerhandling facilities at Pinto Wharf.
27
To enhance the berthing capacity for cruise liners the Authority has also developed Boiler Wharf, which previously formed part of Malta Shipyards before its privatisation. WATER TRANSPORT The development of facilities for water taxi and ferries, for the modal shift from land to sea transport, included the identification and preparation of plans for upgrading landing places which could be used by water transport operators. During 2012, Transport Malta signed a contract with Marsamxetto Steamferry Services Limited for the provision of scheduled ferry services for the Grand Harbour and the Port of Marsamxett. The contract is for a period of eight years. The Operator, chosen through a competitive tender, operates two simultaneous services, one in each port. MARINAS AND YACHTING Malta has maintained its ground as an attractive berthing destination to various seafaring visitors. Touring the various marinas available round the islands,
one can witness the magnificent site of various marinas bursting with activity. Malta currently offers eight permanent marinas and these cater for various sizes of yachts and small ships which can range from 16 metres to 100 metres in length. Statistics show a steady increase in the number of berthing places from 1,511 in 2009 to almost 2,000 yacht berths. These marinas are complemented by a number of seasonal, temporary marinas. INDUSTRIAL STORAGE FACILITIES Malta Freeport houses licensed operators within the Free Zone who utilise one of the 10 industrial units of 1,000m2 each. Legislation permits these users to carry out various activities within these warehouses, including distribution networking, just-in-time inventory management, cargo consolidation, break-bulk and onward shipping, as well as elements of processing. ENEMED PETROLEUM FACILITIES Enemed is a new public entity launched to gradually take over the operation of Enemalta’s Petroleum Division.

PORT FACILITIES IN THE PORT OF MARSAXLOKK CONTAINER TERMINALS Malta Freeport is presently amongst the leaders in the Mediterranean transhipment scenario. The high volume of containers being handled is a result of the Freeport’s track record and the positive international recognition which the company enjoys with global carriers as a reliable and credible port.
The company is responsible for the importation of petroleum for the local market and its main storage installations are located within the Port of Valletta and Marsaxlokk. ENEMALTA PLC Enemalta plc is responsible for the generation and distribution of electricity in the Maltese Islands. The company also operates Delimara power station which is located in the Port of Mxlokk. Currently there is an ongoing project to convert the Delimara Power Station from HFO to LNG. Electrogas Malta Ltd is responsible for the conversion and will also be responsible for the generation of electricity once the LNG power station is operational.
The Freeport’s increasing attractiveness is founded on the right configuration of unparalleled location in the centre of the Mediterranean, outstanding facilities dedicated to transhipment, pristine handling equipment, advanced technology, highly skilled and enterprising personnel, unmatched quality service, as well as an efficient security system which ensures that its clients’ demands are met efficaciously.
GAS INSTALLATION The Gas Installation is located at the Port of Marsaxlokk opposite the breakwater and situated at Jetty 4 of the Oiltanking terminal.

photography - iMNG Ltd: Malta Freeport Terminals Ltd
Other crucial factors include extensive worldwide regular network connections, high performance levels and costeffectiveness, ease of access to markets with minimal diversion distance, easy port accessibility, safe manoeuvrability of vessels and all-year favourable weather conditions. Malta Freeport Terminals has two Container Terminals, namely Terminal One and Terminal Two. Terminal One has a mainline quay length of 1,000 metres, a storage area of 539,643 square metres, 10,499 container ground slots and 653 reefer points. Terminal One West Quay has a length of 290 metres and the water depth is being dredged to -13 metres LAT. The North Quay of Terminal One is
www.maltamaritimedirectory.com
equipped with eleven Quayside Cranes, three capable of reaching 25 container across, four capable of reaching 24 containers across and four capable of reaching 18 containers across. Terminal Two has a total operational quay length of 1,173 metres, a storage area of 231,357 square metres offering 4,791 Ground Slots and 424 Reefer Points. This Terminal is served by eleven super post-Panamax Quayside Cranes. One of these Cranes is capable of reaching 25 containers across and capable of handling twin-lift 2 x 20’ containers, four capable of reaching 23 containers across and are capable of handling either 4 x 20’ containers or 2 x 40’ containers in tandem operation and six capable of reaching 18 containers across and capable of handling twin-lift 2 x 20’ containers. All mainline berths at Malta Freeport Terminals have a water depth of - 17 metres LAT. In total, Malta Freeport Terminals offers a total operational deep water quay of 2,463 metres, a total area of 771,000 square metres, a total of 15,290 ground slots and a total number of 1,077 reefer points. Both Container Terminals are served by twenty-two Quayside Cranes. In line with Malta Freeport’s strategy to consolidate its competitive edge within the Mediterranean containerisation scenario, the Freeport is pursuing various development projects aimed at expanding its capacity from the current 3.8 million TEUs to 4.5 million TEUs. OIL PRODUCTS TERMINAL The storage facilities operated by Oiltanking Malta Limited are organised in four tank farms, providing a total built capacity of 535,000 cubic metres. The facility is served by four jetties operated exclusively by Oiltanking Malta Limited, with a capacity to handle vessels up to 120,000 dwt with a maximum draft of 16 metres. Cargo handled includes crude oil, fuel oil, gas oil, jet fuel, gasoline and components. Special services include blending, butanising, injection of additives, tank-to-tank transfers and ship-to-ship operations. OFFSHORE LOGISTICS BASE Medserv plc, a company quoted on the Malta Stock Exchange, operates
a 50,000m2 site including offices and covered warehousing extending to 5,500m2, providing a logistic base for oil companies operating in the Southern Mediterranean. The company also enjoys the exclusive right of use of a deep water quay extending to 200 metres with an additional quay working space of 5,000m2 as well as a further ancillary quay. FISHING PORT Marsaxlokk is the major base port for 70% of the Maltese fishing fleet. In fact it is the largest fishing port and the main fishing harbour of Malta. It is the best place to see the colorful, traditional Maltese fishing boats, the Luzzu, with the mythical eye painted on their prows. OTHER PORTS A major project is underway to upgrade the berthing and passenger handling facilities in the port of Cirkewwa. This development will mirror the works that were carried out in the port of Mgarr Harbour (Gozo) where a modern passenger terminal has been built. These two ports cater mainly for the interisland ferry service. This sea-link is crucial for the sustainable development of the island of Gozo. In view of this general economic interest the Authority has invested considerably in these two ports in order to reduce the non-operational days to a minimum. The whole project involved the construction of two berths and the extension of the breakwater at the port of Cirkewwa, the extension of one quay in Mgarr Harbour and the building of a passenger terminal in each port. Mgarr Harbour in Gozo also serves as a mooring station for fishing and locallyowned boats, and a yachting centre. Occasionally the latter harbour is also used for the berthing of small cruise liners and cargo vessels. The ports of Marsamxett and St Paul’s Bay are also designated as ports in terms of the Ports and Shipping Act. However these are mainly used for the mooring of pleasure craft and fishing boats.

Maritime Malta the legal perspective by Dr Ann Fenech The description “Maritime Malta” really and truly describes a country which has since time immemorial had very close connections with the sea and the maritime sector. Our position in the centre of the Mediterranean equidistant from the Straits of Gibraltar and Suez and the shores of north Africa and Italy mean that it has always been considered throughout the millennia as a most strategic trading post. If one quickly goes through the various powers that governed over Malta through the ages be it the Knights of St. John or the British until 1964, the sea, the maritime connection and our geographical location were of constant importance. Suffice it to say that under British Rule Malta saw the constructions of a number of dry docks which served the country and the British in good stead from the mid 1800’s to date.
Malta’s current maritime diversity is evidenced by the fact that Malta has the largest shipping register in Europe; it has one of the deepest natural harbours in the world; it is home to numerous marinas which now welcome some of the world’s most glamorous super yachts; it has a
www.maltamaritimedirectory.com
tradition in ship repair with numerous yards and docks one of which with a length of 230 metres; it is a fascinating visiting port of call offering two separate destinations Valletta and Gozo for the hundreds of cruise liners either visiting Malta or using Malta as a home port; it’s position equidistant from
the straits of Gibraltar and Suez makes it an ideal bunkering location; it boasts a Freeport which is a highly successful transhipment centre and it is also home to the International Maritime Law Institute, a post graduate academic institution under the auspices of the International Maritime Organisation.

The vessel in a judicial sale by auction is sold free and unencumbered
These achievements are a direct result of careful planning, a good work force prepared to deliver value for money and a “can do” attitude. In addition we have a stable, reliable and solid legal regime and laws which give investors and their financiers the degree of comfort they require. As far as the law is concerned before Malta became a colony in 1801 Malta had a fully developed law based initially on the Roman law of Justinian and later on, on the Code Napoleon together with a highly developed judicial system. When the British came to Malta they therefore found an established highly developed legal system. However the years covering British rule in Malta, from 1801 to 1964 were extremely important in terms of shipping legislation being promulgated in England during this period. As a result of the fact that we were a colony a number of shipping laws passed in England during this period became law in Malta. Post independence in 1964 a number of important commercial laws passed by the Maltese Parliament were based on the British model. These include several laws in the financial services sector, company law and shipping. All of this coupled with the fact that English is the 2nd official language in Malta which means that all
our legislation is available in English, makes investors and their financiers feel very comfortable. This also lends itself to less bureaucracy than one encounters in other jurisdictions where everything from the simple power of attorney to the most complex corporate documents need to be translated normally from English to the working language in the respective country, notarised and apostilled. There is none of that here because copies of the original documentation in English are perfectly valid. There exists a hugely diverse body of maritime laws to sustain Malta’s maritime activities. It is universally recognised that a solid legal base where potential investors and their financiers feel that their investment is on firm footing is fundamental. Without it, no country can aspire to have good quality, high end investment. Maltese law has a substantial body of maritime law and laws which affect the maritime industry. In addition to the laws passed by Parliament Malta is a signatory to an increasing number of international conventions related to the Maritime sector and since Malta became a member of the European Union we now have the entire body of European law directly applicable in Malta. The application of a significant number of international conventions in Malta is very important. There are a number of wellknown conventions and others which are less known which form part of the body of Maltese law. Amongst the more well-known international maritime conventions are the Safety of Life at Sea Convention also known as “SOLAS”, the Prevention of Pollution from Ships Convention, commonly referred to as “MARPOL” and the United Nations
Convention on the Law Of the Sea or as it is referred to “ UNCLOS”. Malta can in fact lay claim to being instrumental in creating the necessary sentiment for a discussion on the need for such a convention when on November 1st, 1967, Dr Arvid Pardo, Malta’s permanent representative to the United Nations made a heartfelt appeal before the General Assembly highlighting the need to protect our oceans and to take all measures against pollution. It was Pardo who came out with Malta’s historic position that the seabed and ocean floor should constitute part of the “common heritage of mankind” a phrase that found its place in article 136 of UNCLOS. In terms of local legislation there are several laws which regulate every aspect of the maritime sector. A perfect example of Maltese maritime law is of course the Merchant Shipping Act and the several pieces of subsidiary legislation promulgated under the act. The Merchant Shipping Act was first promulgated in 1973. This piece of legislation is considered as the “Bible” regulating numerous essential pillars of the maritime sector in Malta which include registration of vessels, registration of mortgages, masters and seamen, safety of life at sea, pollution, special shipping inquiries, wreck and salvage, liability of ship owners and several other matters. As stated this law is also the enabling law of so many other laws in the form of legal notices or indeed subsidiary legislation which are promulgated under the auspices of the Merchant Shipping Act. This would mean the entire body of law regulating collisions at sea, training and certification, load line rules, limitation of liability on maritime claims, safe manning and watch keeping, shipping organisations, certification of commercial yachts and so many other areas.

The reliability and stability offered by the law feature prominently in the ultimate decision made by the entrepreneur on whether or not to set up in a particular jurisdiction. This cannot be underestimated. If one were to take one particular example of how a law can positively influence the decision of a potential investor to choose Malta, the perfect example would be the manner in which our Merchant Shipping Act has evolved over the years, fine-tuned and constantly updated to the extent that the Malta flag today is the European, white listed flag of choice of hundreds of ship owners. The reasons behind the success of the flag are several most of them of an operational nature, ranging from English being an official language, the tonnage tax regime, the fact that the regulator is in a position to give a service on a 24 / 7 basis if necessary, and a host of others. However there are reasons which are purely legal in nature and one of them is that our law offers a great degree of protection to the Financier. Ships are more often than not financed by third parties. Financiers need to feel, today more than ever before that the finance which they are making available for the
purchase or construction of the vessel is well protected by the law of the flag. The choice of flag therefore has always been and remains all the more so in the current world recession, a very important part of the equation. Unless the mortgagee is going to feel that the law of the flag protects his interest the financier will simply not agree to the flag chosen by the owner. Maltese law on its part is most protective of the mortgagee against a defaulting owner and this is one of the reasons why the Malta flag has been so successful. The mortgagee under Maltese law is in a truly privileged position because the mortgage itself constitutes an executive title; the mortgage itself is equivalent to a judgement. Thus in the case of a defaulting owner, the mortgagee does not have to commence an action on the merits against the mortgagor for defaulting on his payments. Any other normal creditor would have to commence an action, make a case in court, obtain a judgment and then enforce the judgment. With a mortgage, because the mortgage is in itself an executive title, the mortgagee may proceed directly with enforcement. Under our law a mortgagee has a number of options available to him:
Financiers need to feel, today more than ever before that the finance which they are making available for the purchase or construction of the vessel is well protected by the law of the flag"
www.maltamaritimedirectory.com
• The mortgagee can take possession of the vessel and whilst she remains in the ownership of her owner, may trade the vessel as though it belonged to the mortgagee. • The mortgagee can also go ahead and sell the ship privately however the disadvantage with this is that the vessel will be sold with all her privileged debts and thus will not be an attractive proposition to a potential purchaser. • Alternatively the mortgagee can proceed with the Judicial Sale of the vessel. This is a sale which is ordered by the Courts, a date is set for the auction of the vessel and the auction is held with the vessel sold to the highest bidder. The vessel in a judicial sale by auction is sold free and unencumbered (thus shedding all its previous debts) however there is no reserve price and it can go for very little. Unfortunately it is not uncommon for vessels to fetch a fraction of their price at a judicial sale by auction. If this occurs then a vessel may be sold well below what she might actually be worth. • However a mortgagee under Maltese law has a fourth alternative. He can proceed with a court approved private sale. The court approved sale allows a mortgagee to find a private buyer and negotiate a price thus eliminating the uncertainty of the sale price. The mortgagee then files an appropriate application in court requesting the court to approve the sale whilst presenting 2 independent valuations of the ship to show that the sale price is equal to or in access of the valuation. The court then approves the sale and the vessel is sold free and unencumbered. This method ensures that the vessel will be sold for an agreed price, rather than leaving it to chance in a judicial sale and is particularly handy in the context of a depressed, second hand tonnage market. In this way all the parties involved including the ship owner himself get the benefits of the private sale and of the judicial sale without the disadvantages.

in Malta...we can boast of a regulator and legislator who are continuously working with the service providers with a view to ensuring that the laws constantly reflect the exigencies of the industry
One of the secrets behind Malta’s successes in the international maritime industry is that Malta is continuously thinking out of the box, improving the product and developing new solutions and as importantly, updating its laws to ensure that they are compatible with the needs and requirements of the international maritime community. Another perfect example of this is the manner in which Maltese law has continued to develop to provide robust structures to assist super yacht owners as distinct from cargo vessels or passenger liners, in choosing Malta as their preferred jurisdiction. The law needs to reflect what is going on; it needs to be sensitive to both the requirements of the user and the regulator and therefore needs to be updated
www.maltamaritimedirectory.com
continuously and religiously. In this area too we are rather fortunate in Malta because we can boast of a regulator and legislator who are continuously working with the service providers with a view to ensuring that the laws constantly reflect the exigencies of the industry. This is where the Malta Maritime Law Association (MMLA) has been a very important cog in the wheel of Maritime Malta. The MMLA is made up of maritime lawyers and other service providers to the maritime industry and has an excellent working relationship with Transport Malta the regulator. The MMLA is a member of the Committee Maritime International (CMI), the body frequently tasked to draft international maritime conventions and last year for the first time Malta had its own representative elected to the executive committee of this august body.

The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport by Miriam Camilleri, Chairperson
Excellence in logistics and transport is crucial if Malta is to fulfil its role as a world class distribution hub. General awareness that only a professional approach and focus can ensure efficiency, and thus increased competitiveness, is critical.
Professionalism is indeed a combination of academic knowledge and hands-on experience; being one's own as well as that acquired from others. If we fail to recognise this and act upon it, Malta and its participants in this field will lag behind. To remain at a standstill is to move backwards.
and education and research and humanitarian logistics institutions. The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport has today over 30,000 members spread over thirty countries. It is the leading professional organisation for those involved in the many disciplines of logistics and transport.
Until not so long ago, studies in transport and logistics were confined to those who are passionate about the subject. They had to research on their own without the backing of an organised structure. The Chartered Institute of Transport and of Logistics already existed in the United Kingdom, and this set-up was available to those seeking to further their education and qualifications in this sector. But they were not easy times; modern day communications such as Internet and email were but a dream.
CILT Malta aims to further the awareness of the global logistics and the transport chain. To better organise its structures and to facilitate related studies at both individual and corporate levels there are ongoing discussions with the Malta University, the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology, Malta Enterprise and other related institutions. Such endeavours could eventually lead to membership and chartered membership with the Institute.
CILT traces its origins to 1926 after a number of senior transport professionals had met in London in 1919 to explore on how to improve the movement of goods from one destination to another. The main aim of the Institute is to develop and promote education in this thriving industry; embracing individual and corporate members, as well as a number of professional groups such as women in logistics, young professionals and so forth. In the furtherance of its aims and objectives CILT partners with knowledge centres such as the Institute of Operations Management,
www.maltamaritimedirectory.com
The support of the government in furthering our objectives to promote education is essential. The response received from the private sector is encouraging. However, If Malta is to increase its competitiveness this needs to be taken to a higher level; particularly to improve employee engagement. Malta's economic well-being, probably even its very survival is dependent upon the service industry. That Malta became an international logistics hub is a natural progression of a role that has been its calling for centuries. It is a vision, not a dream: - a great initiative. Great strides have been made in the airline, civil aviation
and maritime industry. One proof of this is that Malta's international ship register today the largest European flag and one of the top five registers in the world - is a flag of international repute enjoying the trust of shipowners and financiers worldwide. I have myself have been involved for over thirty years in the transport industry both on the government side and within the private sector. I am proud to have seen it happen and to have played my small part in this happening. We remain indebted to the pioneers who were instrumental in making this the success story it is today. But the world does not stay still. It is said, and quite rightly, that the only thing which is constant is change. We need to widen our horizons. We need to believe but we also need to be prepared. CILT Malta has set the ball rolling and the intention is to increase this momentum. It must be a collective effort. If we are to grow and lead, the cooperation of the public sector, the participation of the industry and the response of those who make the industry is critical. Leadership is action. CILT Malta aims to be the leader in transport and logistics for the Mediterranean region. This means we must act if we want to be leaders. CILT International is there to guide and support you and help you build on your career. It is a worldwide forum where you can be a participant. CILT Malta will be your portal and can help you make it happen.

Malta is indeed being increasingly looked upon as a viable and favourable jurisdiction by the international community and the firm is facing the future with a high degree of confidence and optimism.

Attrans specialises in groupage as well as full load movements of any normal road cargo, including hazardous and refrigerated freight. Additionally, transhipment of groupage to and from all non-EU countries including the USA, Middle East and Asia is offered on a weekly basis through Attrans Ltd’s European consolidation hubs. Over the past few years Attrans has established an ongoing service to and from Tunisia. Both full loads, dry cargo and refrigerated and groupage services are being offered on a weekly basis. Other services offered by Attrans Ltd include the movement of project cargo, heavy machinery and oil exploration equipment. Attrans has expanded this service in the latter years due to the development of the Libyan market. Thus, movements from Central Europe to Libya have been on the increase due to the financial and strategic investment Attrans has made in this particular market. Storage and warehousing facilities in all Attrans locations are also offered to its clientele. In order to guarantee its service level to clients all over Europe, Attrans has established a reliable Europe-wide agent’s network over the past few years. However, in early 2009 the desire to establish its own office as representative in the Benelux countries resulted in the founding of Attrans BV in Alblasserdam, The Netherlands on May 1st 2009. The office also acts as a liaison office for Malta-related shipments to and from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. Its warehouse is able to handle all kinds of cargo including hazardous materials and project cargo. Besides the road-transport service to/from Malta, Attrans BV also acts as forwarding agent to and from countries in Southern and Eastern Europe including Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Poland, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Belarus. It can also offer services to certain Central Asian destinations. In July 2009, Attrans opened its own operational office in Genova port, enabling Attrans’ own personnel to manage port operations directly, thus improving turnaround time in the terminals and direct communications with suppliers and drivers alike. In 2012 Attrans opened another office in Holland; Attrans North Africa, to provide transport services to and from North African countries such as Tunisia, Morocco, Algiers and Libya. 83

Their aim was always to use top quality materials while still offering the most competitive prices. In 1992 the company progressed to specialise in marine upholstery and canvas works, which led them to establish different departments so as to focus more on their clients' needs. The first department works on interiors of boats such as sofas, cushions, carpets, head liners and wall panels. The choice of materials will vary depending on the needs of the client – some might want an upmarket look whereas others might be concerned about the durability – therefore opting for heavy protective fabric. Next comes the one that works only on the exterior of boats, including biminis, spray hoods, awnings, cushions, sail repairs, coverings, stainless steel structures and all the soft furnishing needs of a boat. 87

Reg: C 2674 Bankers: Bank of Valletta plc Contact: Mr John A Gauci-Maistre K.M. (Chairman) Services: Insurance Services; Registration of Ships & Yachts; Travel Services Profile: Established 43 years ago by the group’s current Chairman, Mr John A. Gauci-Maistre K.M., the Economicard Group of Companies started out by offering the then very innovative cash discount card. Mr Gauci-Maistre, never one to rest on his laurels, soon began to seek out niche markets in which to specialise. In the second part of the seventies, Economicard contributed significantly to introducing the concept of desktop computers and computer gaming in Malta. Having made the Commodore brand a household name throughout the eighties and nineties, it is no wonder that the mere mention of the Commodore 64 or Amiga 500 gives rise to such nostalgia for so many. Whilst many were happily playing Pac Man or Sensible World of Soccer on their Commodore computers, Mr Gauci-Maistre was busy carving out his name in the maritime industry.

Profile: International Marine Centre Ltd was established back in 1958 by the late Joseph Farrugia, under the name of TOWER MARINE CENTRE in his father's humble boat house in today's fashion capital, Sliema. In the early 70's he later opened a new showroom with a new name: NATIONAL MARINE CENTRE, which subsequently evolved into the present name; in the neighbouring town, Msida, which was only around a hundred metres from the only marina at that time. And the company still represents leading brands it already represented then. The company's growth was such that, after a few years, the showroom area was doubled and new products were continually added to its already large range of equipment. It moreover recently tripled its warehouse space to satisfy a bigger range of stock. Throughout these years IMC has built up a very selective and varied portfolio of high quality marine brands which are synonymous with good workmanship. Its main aim is to serve its customers to their satisfaction, and to have most items readily available from stock, so one may not need to wait for delivery. Alternatively, the company also offer items on a 'to-order' basis with reasonable waiting times. 100

I am a firm believer in the personalised approach and feel that a job can never feel complete unless I understand who my client really is, what his/her lifestyle is and what expectations they have”. The team at Vera Sant Fournier- Interior Design is totally committed to delivering an excellent level of service, which is believed to be the hallmark of the studio and reputation.
Our commitment to offer excellence in service is our goal and endeavour.
