The Grand Harbour, located in Valletta, Malta, serves as the primary seaport for the country, handling the majority of its maritime trade. The harbor’s strategic location on the southeast coast offers natural deepwater protection through two main breakwaters. It offers various facilities for ship-related services such as repair, drydocking, transhipment, and storage. Initially a fortified town, it played a vital role as a naval base in World War II. Throughout history, the harbor has been utilized by various civilizations including Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, and Arabs, resulting in significant historical settlements. This historical significance led to UNESCO designating a 55-hectare land area near the port as a world heritage site in 1980.
The Malta Free Port is situated along the Marsaxlokk Bay coastline in the southeastern region of Malta. Serving as both an industrial port and a fishing harbor, it occupies a strategic location near major shipping routes that connect Europe, West Africa, and the Middle East. This positioning creates a bustling trade triangle. The port holds significance as a pivotal transshipment hub in the area, particularly focused on containerized goods. Annually, the port manages a substantial volume, including approximately 2,700 vessels, 5,810,000 tons of cargo, and 1,480,000 TEUs.
Situated at the northwestern tip of Malta and overlooking the Gozo channel, the Cirkewwa harbour serves as a crucial link connecting the main island to the neighboring Gozo and Comino islands. This harbor’s significance extends to supporting the economic growth of Gozo, the second largest landmass within the Maltese archipelago. The harbor features three docks designed to accommodate small cruises, car ferries, and barges, along with a terminal building and a waiting area. Additionally, a resort and a beach are located just a short distance from the Cirkewwa harbour, adding to its recreational appeal.
