Last night, the catamaran Maria Dolores entered the Valletta Grand Harbour from Tripoli. Officials from the Maltese Health Authorities and the Civil Protection were present on its arrival.
The first to disembark were persons who needed medical attention. Orderly disembarkation of the rest of the passengers followed.
Ten persons needed medical assistance on the spot, three of whom were transported for further medical assistance.
All passengers were offered food and drink as soon as they disembarked. Special attention was of course also given to all children.
Veterinary Officials were also present since a number of pets were brought over by some of the families.
The second catamaran from Tripoli, the Virtu San Gwann, arrived at the Valletta Grand Harbour just before 11.00pm. The passengers were disembarked and were taken straight to their accommodation.
Four persons from this 2nd ferry were given immediate medical assistance, which was required due to the effects of their long stormy journey,
