The Maritime Authority has 455 pending applications for berths at the marinas in Msida and Ta’ Xbiex and 122 others for berths at Mġarr.

The three marinas at present provide 995 berths. Transport Minister Austin Gatt told the House that the authority was recommending the development of new permanent marinas at Sa Maison and the Menqa at Marsa and an increase of berthing spaces for Ta’ Xbiex and on the north side of Manoel Island. This would make 860 more berthing spaces available.

Temporary marinas would also be developed at Salina, Ta’ Xbiex, Kalkara, Xemxija and Mġarr, providing 200 additional berthing spaces in Malta and 100 in Gozo.
