On Tuesday 9th July 2019, the Government of Malta
published a press release[1] updating the public on the
Merchant Ship Register, highlighting the recent success achieved in
the maritime sector.
The update informs that Malta's success is owed not only to
its glowing reputation and high quality of service, but also the
state's initiative in implementing and ratifying International
Conventions aimed at protecting the marine environment and its
surroundings, while also increasing the levels of safety on board
vessels in order to safeguard lives. Consequently, it is through
the confidence ship owners have placed in the Maltese flag that the
maritime industry in Malta is booming, increasing Malta's
visibility on the world stage.
