SPECIAL TASK FORCE ON DEVELOPING INVESTMENT PROJECT
PIPELINE IN THE EU- MALTA PROJECT LIST
This breakwater permitted full exploitation of the potential of the
Valletta Grand Harbour. In colonial days its potential was to serve
the military needs of the Colony masters. After Independence and
following the closure of the military base the Grand Harbour was
exploited for commercial ship repairing and other industrial activities
(e.g. grain handling and storage). More recently the Valletta side of
the Grand Harbour was especially exploited for touristic purposes
with particular reference to its role as a Cruise Liner port of call and
hub.
Malta is now proposing to build a breakwater to render Valletta’s
second harbour – Marsamxett – an all-weather port like the Grand
Harbour which can supplement the Cruise Liner activity, yacht
marinas and Super yacht facilities for which there is strong and
unsatisfied demand.
