Over the past few days, Transport Malta has laid 38 buoys around the coast of the Maltese Islands. The buoys mark the distance of 200 metres or 300 metres from the coast. These distances delimit a speed limit for vessels.

A number of the buoys mark a speed limit of 10 knots while others signal the 5 knot limit.

Transport Malta said that is just one of the measures put in place for the summer season, adding that it encourages all vessel drivers to respect the speed limit. “Safety at sea is crucial. It is important that everyone enjoys the sea without incidents.”
