Gozo Channel is currently having internal discussions with the departments concerned regarding the issuing of a call ”for the hire of one Ropax vessel under a time charter agreement (Bimco Ropaxtime)” for the hire of a fourth ship for the Gozo Channel company.”
This was said in Parliament by Minister for Gozo and Planning Clint Camilleri in reply to a Parliamentary Question for an update on the situation by Opposition MP Chris Said
The Minister added that ”once these discussions have been concluded, the process to start a new call for tenders can begin by the Ministry for Gozo and Planning.”
Ropaxtime is a standard time charter party for the RoPax trade. It can be amended to be used for RoRo ships as well. The charter party contains the latest standard time charter clauses and includes detailed provisions covering trade specific issues such as hotel, restaurant and passenger related issues.

Call me a cynic, but in a short four paragraph article, I get the impression that there are dodgy dealings going on here. Am I surprised? Not in the least.
