Over 2,400 cars were today discharged at Malta Freeport Terminals making it the largest car transhipment operation of its type in Malta.

The cars arrived this morning on the ro-ro ship 'Höegh Manila' which berthed at Terminal One North Quay.

This operation took place at the Freeport just a week after Malta Freeport announced the first call at its facilities of the Large Car Truck Carrier (LCTC) m/v Fedora of Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics.

'Höegh Manila' arrived at Malta Freeport Terminals after calling at Chennai and Aqaba. The cars will eventually be transshipped to Benghazi.

The 'Hoegh Manila' of Hoegh Autoliners has a capacity of 5,400 cars. Höegh Autoliners is a leading global provider of ro-ro vehicle transportation services connecting the Far East to the Mediterranean, North Europe and the North American continent.

Last year, it carried about 1.86 million car equivalent units and made almost 3,100 port calls. It is represented in Malta by Sullivan Maritime.
