The Malta Maritime Authority hosted a group of students from the World Maritime University (WMU) of Malmö, Sweden, for a field trip in Malta. The 19 students are reading for a master's degree in port management at the WMU, a training institution within the International Maritime Organisation.

Coming from 14 different countries, the course participants already occupy senior positions in their respective port and maritime administrations.

The programme of the students' field trip in Malta consisted of visits to maritime institutions in Malta, relevant to the students' studies including the Malta Maritime Authority, Malta Freeport, the Regional Marine Pollution Emergency Response Centre for the Mediterranean, and Sea Malta.

The students were addressed by various members of the local shipping and port community, with a view to acquiring useful elements of local port and shipping operations that complement the theoretical aspect of their studies.
