The Gozo Business Chamber has welcomed the announcement today of an investment in transport services between Malta and Gozo, which, it said, “foresees that by 2029 the fleet, operating between the two islands, will comprise four passenger vessels and one cargo vessel.”

The Chamber said that “this represents an important development, reflecting both the substantial increase in traffic between the two islands and the positive economic momentum registered in recent years. Such a long-term plan provides greater certainty for the local community as well as for the business sector in the years ahead.”

The Chamber also noted the investment in two new vessels, which are expected to provide “greater operational flexibility to Gozo Channel. Furthermore, the introduction of a service between the Malta Freeport and Gozo is a significant step, reflecting the growing number of Gozitan companies expanding their operations, alongside increasing import and export volumes.”

The Chamber also welcomed the establishment of the task force announced in the Budget, which the Chamber noted, “is expected to be launched in the coming days and will focus on accessibility at the Mgarr Harbour. This initiative is essential to ensure that the investment announced today delivers the maximum possible impact.”
