Malta is largest European Shipping Registry

Malta has cemented its pivotal role in the maritime industry, by becoming the largest shipping registry in Europe (in terms of tonnage) and the seventh (7th) largest in the world overall.  Types of vessels registered include cruise liners, oil rigs and even superyachts.

As of March 2012, the Malta Shipping Registry, now part of Transport Malta, had almost six thousand (6000) registered vessel with a gross tonnage of 45.6 million tonnes, surpassing Greece, and consolidating itself as a major shipping hub.  This steady increase is testament to the successful blending of fiscal incentives (shipping companies in Malta are tax exempt) with maintaining the highest industry standards.  The Maltese flag is a flag of confidence and on the official white list of the The Paris Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control.
