What’s the Malta Maritime Forum?
The Malta Maritime Forum (MMF) is there to champion all matters related to the Maritime Industry and the Blue Economy on behalf of its members. As a maritime cluster, the MMF includes the major economic players in such activities as shipowners, port and terminal operations, vessel towage provision, ship agencies, bunkering operations, pilotage, tank-cleaning facilities, docking operations mooring-personnel, dockers, cargo haulage, professional services providers and suppliers of yachting services amongst many other activities.
The role of the Malta Maritime Forum is to bring together all operators involved in these activities to a common platform and to act as the flag-bearer for the entire maritime industry. At the same time, it seeks to actively influence national maritime policy by facilitating communication between the various sectors as well as with Government to assist and promote the development of this industry in general. The Forum provides a “home” to all players in the Maritime Industry, where they can be heard and where their issues will be taken up collectively and collegially on their behalf.
Since its inception, the Forum has been providing value, support and leadership to the Maritime Community. The Forum is eager to represent your company too and invites you to form part of our prominent and dynamic organisation to enjoy the benefits and support we provide. Please fill in the form below and we will be delighted to guide you through the process and get you onboard.
