Profile:
Malta Freeport Terminals is a fully fledged state-of-the-art container terminal with over 30 years’ experience in the shipping industry. It has established a reputation among global carriers as a reliable, efficient, and strategic transhipment port.
The Freeport’s location at the crossroads of some of the world’s greatest shipping routes make it the ideal shipping lines’ strategic partner. Over 96 per cent of Malta Freeport’s container traffic is transhipment business. Malta Freeport is one of the busiest container terminals in Europe, handling a trade volume of nearly 3 million TEUs annually. Such traffic volumes require state-of-the-art equipment, space and a well-managed work force to be able to offer unrivalled operational performance and greater economic benefits to the customers.
The Company benefits from trustworthy and experienced shareholders providing a solid foundation for further growth. Since its privatisation in 2004, Malta Freeport Terminals has undertaken an ambitious €300 million investment drive to upgrade its facilities and equipment to become the state-of-the-art container terminal it is today.
Malta Freeport Terminals is presently well poised to efficiently handle the business of the shipping lines that have chosen it as their Mediterranean hub offering total operational deep water quays of 2,463 metres, a total area for container storage of 771,000 square metres, a total of 15,297 container ground slots and 1,658 reefer slots. All the mainline berths at Malta Freeport have a water depth of 17 metres enabling the Company to be able to accommodate the latest class of 24,000 TEU vessels.
Both Terminals are equipped with 20 Quayside Cranes, 65 Rubber-Tyred Gantry Cranes, and various ancillary yard equipment. Malta Freeport is providing considerable benefits to the local commercial sector and the international business community alike, including regular global connections with 100 ports, around 50 of which are in the Mediterranean. Innovation and competitiveness are key to Malta Freeport’s future growth.
The facility has focused heavily on digitalisation, infrastructural development, productivity, and ongoing training for its skilled workforce to stay ahead of the curve. Malta Freeport remains fully committed to constantly strive to surpass its clients’ long-term expectations.
