organisation profile
The Malta Maritime Authority was set up as a distinct and autonomous corporate body to supervise the organisation of the primary maritime services. It was established by law in 1991 as a Government Agency and so vested with detailed regulatory powers. The set-up of this Authority was to enable ports, merchant shipping and yachting centres to operate within centralised framework. The Authority operates as a distinct commercially driven organisation, committed to excellence in the provision of services that are both effective and competitive. The Malta Maritime Authority develops and supports policies and initiatives consonant with the functions and duties stipulated in the Malta Maritime Authority Act (XVII) of 1991. The Malta Maritime Authority's principal role is to create a climate that further enhances Malta's maritime standing and associated business activities. The Authority's aim is to develop and promote Malta as a maritime centre of international repute that is capable of providing a comprehensive package that offers a wide range of maritime services.
As from 2010 the MMA no longer exists as a separate entity but forms part of Transport Malta, a governmental institution which encompasses transport control of the islands over sea, land and air.
