A few days ago I had to pick up a foreigner – a friend – who was returning to Malta via the Virtù Ferries catamaran Maria Dolores. The set-up was excellent.

I saw doctors and personnel boarding the boat and helping people down. Medical tents, personnel and supplies were available in abundance.

Food and water were distributed to the passengers. The image was one of calmness and safety.

That’s the image Malta is giving to all those who visit our shores. Seeing the Prime Minister visit the coordination centre on CNN, it was also obvious this logistical success was down to coordination at the highest levels. They deserve our support.
