Sea Transport

This chapter focuses on the Sea Transport related to the Maltese Islands. The first part of this chapter focuses on vessels, including vessels’ registration data being an important national asset in the maritime sector. This chapter is also complemented with detailed data on all cargo loaded and unloaded at the Maltese ports. Data on yachts arriving in Malta, yacht ports and respective capacity, data on fishing vessels and cruise liners visiting Malta are also presented. This chapter is concluded with information on the patronage of the transport between Malta and Gozo by the Gozo Channel, and that between Valletta and Sliema / the Three Cities operated by the Valletta Ferry Service.

2.1. Vessels

During the year under review, 12,834 vessels arrived at Malta’s ports, a negligible decrease of 0.2 per cent over 2017 (Table 2.2). As at end of 2018, the number of vessels registered under the Maltese flag amounted to 7,703, a net decrease of 97 vessels over 2017. Furthermore, during the year under review, 660 vessels were registered under the Maltese flag, with the majority being Pleasure Yachts amounting to 459 or 69.5 per cent of the total newly registered vessels (Table 2.11). During 2018, the number of foreign yachts arriving and berthing in Malta amounted to 1,633, with almost 76 per cent of them being of less than 24m in length. July was the month registering the highest number of yachts’ arrivals, totalling 298, followed by August and June with 291 and 243 yachts’ arrivals respectively (Table 2.20). As at end of 2018, there were 12 yacht marinas in Malta and Gozo, which altogether could berth 2,248 yachts of various sizes. The largest yacht marina was the Creek Developments plc with 720 berthing places, accounting to 32.0 per cent of all the yacht berthing places available in the year under review (Table 2.21). As at the end of 2018, the stock of fishing vessels stood at 2,948. MPVs comprised the largest proportion of fishing vessels with 1,351, or 45.8 per cent of the total. The largest registration group of fishing vessels was the MFC, totalling 2,003 vessels. Fishing vessels registered in the South Eastern district accounted for 28.8 per cent of the total. Mġarr DP (Gozo) was the port hosting the largest number of fishing vessels amounting to 325, followed by Marsaxlokk (Ix-Xatt) with 294 vessels (Tables 2.22–2.32). 2.2. Cargo

Table 2.16 shows all non-containerised local and transhipment cargo that was loaded and discharged in and from Malta and Gozo main ports in 2018. Fuel oil was by far the commodity with the largest loaded and discharged volumes totalling slightly over 3.1 million tonnes. During 2018, containerised cargo, loaded and discharged locally, at Malta and Gozo main ports (Valletta Grand Harbour and Marsaxlokk Freeport) amounted to 0.82 million tonnes and 1.37 million tonnes respectively. Containerised transhipment cargo, loaded and discharged at the same ports, amounted to 12.72 million tonnes and 14.08 million tonnes respectively. Transhipment loading and discharging of containerised cargo, was mainly done (more than 99 per cent of the total) at the Marsaxlokk Freeport (Tables 2.17-2.18).

2.4. Sea transport between Malta and Gozo

During 2018, the number of inter-island trips amounted to 23,619 (approximately equally distributed between both directions), up by 4.8 per cent from 2017. Moreover, the average rate of passengers per trip increased to 244 in 2018 from 239 in 2017. The average rate of vehicles per trip amounted to 70, an increase of one vehicle over the previous year. During the year under review, 374,478 more passengers and 115,880 more vehicles were carried by the Gozo Channel ferries when compared to 2017. As expected, August was the month in which the greatest number of passengers and vehicles were carried between the two islands with a total of 620,042 passengers (+6.5 per cent over 2017) and 172,120 vehicles (+8.3 per cent over 2017).

Road Transport

This chapter touches various aspects of Road Transport in the Maltese Islands. Current affairs topics such as Road Traffic Accidents and Stock of Licensed Motor Vehicles are dealt in more detail than others. Other reviewed areas include transport-related contraventions, public transport, driving licences, vehicle testing, and other minor but equally-interesting topics. The chapter concludes with a series of road transport indicators showing a general but interesting overview of the land transport situation in Malta and Gozo.

3.1. Road traffic accidents

During 2018, the number of reported traffic accidents reached 14,378, a decrease of 625 cases over the previous year. Decreases in traffic accidents were registered in all of the island’s geographical districts except the Northern district. Percentage-wise, the largest decrease was recorded in the Gozo and Comino district with 12.7 per cent. The Northern Harbour district was the district to record the highest number of road traffic accidents with 5,250 cases or 36.5 per cent of the total (Table 3.4).

In the year under review, road traffic accidents involving injuries decreased by 10.1 per cent, to a total of 1,346. Most of these accidents happened in the Northern Harbour district, totalling 394 or 29.3 per cent of the total traffic accidents (Table 3.6). Road traffic accidents involving injuries constituted almost ten per cent of the total road traffic accidents. This means that almost one accident out of every ten involved injuries.

Likewise, road traffic casualties decreased by 10.6 per cent over 2017, reaching a total of 1,675. Of these, 1,055 were drivers of whom 880 suffered slight/insignificant injuries while 164 sustained grievous injuries. Injuries sustained by 11 drivers (ten males and one female) proved fatal. During the same period, 312 passengers, 121 pedestrians and 27 (of which 24 cyclists) other persons suffered slight/insignificant injuries. Furthermore, 71 passengers, 77 pedestrians and 5 cyclists sustained grievous injuries. Injuries sustained by four passengers (one male and three females), two pedestrians (one male and one female) and one cyclist (male) also proved fatal, thus summing the total number of fatalities in 2018 to 18, one less than those recorded in 2017 (Tables 3.7-3.12). On a monthly basis, May was the month with the largest number of road traffic accidents (1,383), while July registered the largest number of road traffic casualties (185) (Tables 3.13-3.15).

On a gender basis, 1,018 males and 657 females were injured in 2018, of which 13 males and five females sustained fatal injuries. The highest number of male and female casualties (503) resulted in the 26 to 40 years age group (Table 3.20-3.21).

In 2018, accidents caused by vehicles crashing into a property topped the list of road traffic fatalities with 11 cases. Following were accidents between vehicles with four fatalities, while two road traffic fatalities were caused by vehicles hitting pedestrians, and the remaining fatality was caused by a ‘Hit and Run’ on a cyclist (Table 3.16). Of the 11 drivers who were fatally killed in a road traffic accident, seven were driving a motorcycle and four were driving a passenger car. The four passengers who suffered fatal injuries, two were on a private bus, one was on a motorcycle and the other one was in a passenger car. Furthermore, two pedestrians and a cyclist were killed by passenger cars. Out of the other 29 injured cyclists, 22 of them were hit by passenger cars and five by goods-carrying vehicles (Table 3.17).

During 2018, newly licensed vehicles amounted to 26,497, or 6.5 per cent more than the previous year. Newly licensed ‘new’ vehicles amounted to 11,730 or 44.3 per cent of the total, while the rest were newly licensed ‘used’ (second-hand) vehicles (Tables 3.33-3.35). On average, 73 vehicles were newly licensed each day, up by six vehicles over the daily average of 2017. The Northern Harbour district registered the highest number of newly licensed vehicles with 7,902, followed by the Northern district with 5,422 vehicles. This implies that these two districts accounted for slightly over 50 per cent of all the newly licensed vehicles registered during 2018 (Tables 3.36-3.38).

During the year under review, 14,993 vehicles had their out-of-action restriction terminated, while 27,910 vehicles had their restriction initiated during the same year. This means that a net amount of 12,917 vehicles were taken off the streets during 2018. Scrapped vehicles totalled 9,029 of which the majority (91.0 per cent) were passenger cars. During the year under review, 92 vehicles were exported, while nine vehicles were imported back into the country. Vehicles that were put up for resale amounted to 10,068 whereas 9,841 vehicles that were up for resale were sold (Tables 3.41-3.42). During 2018, vehicles that were scrapped (under the Scrappage Scheme) to be replaced by new petrol or diesel-powered vehicles amounted to 1,270; while those scrapped to be replaced by an electric vehicle amounted to 228. Additionally, 142 vehicles had an LPG system installed (Table 3.58).

As at the end of 2018, 60.1 per cent of the licensed vehicles were petrol powered, while 38.9 per cent had diesel engines. Electric vehicles impressively registered the highest increase of almost 139 per cent over 2017. Hybrid vehicles (both categories) also registered a high increase of 66.4 per cent. At the end of 2018, in total electric and hybrid vehicles amounted to 2,367 which is still a very insignificant percentage of 0.6 per cent of the total number of licensed vehicles (Table 3.43).

3.11. Transport Indicators

As at the end of 2018, the population in Malta and Gozo reached 493,559, an increase of 3.8 per cent over 2017. The number of vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants totalled 781 in 2018, a very negligible decrease over 2017. The decrease is solely attributed to the fact that the increase in population was higher than that of the vehicles. This value drastically increases to 932 vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants aged 18 years and over.

By the end of 2018, approximately 63 per cent of the inhabitants aged 18 and over held a road driving licence. There were 868 vehicles owned by Maltese for every 1,000 Maltese citizen, while non-Maltese owned vehicles totalled 353 for every 1,000 non-Maltese resident. The year under review registered 37 road traffic accidents per 1,000 licenced vehicles and 56 road traffic accidents per 1,000 licence holders. Approximately 60 per cent of male inhabitants held a driving licence as opposed to 44 per cent of the female inhabitants. Gozo and Comino district registered the highest number of vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants with 1,071, while passenger cars per 1,000 inhabitants registered in this district amounted to 719. Furthermore, the average amount of vehicles per household was estimated at 2.1, while that of passenger cars per household was estimated at 1.6. Road traffic fatalities were recorded at 1.3 per 1,000 road traffic accidents (Tables 3.103-3.106)

Appendix A

A common term referring to a small boat which in shape is similar to a kajjik or luzzu.

Table 2.3 is generated from the Port Management Information System. The yachts in this table come to Malta for either repairs, bunkering and/or berthing facilities inside theport. Table 2.20 represents yachts that have actually berthed in a marina in Malta and Gozo.

A fishing trawler, also known as a dragger, is a commercial fishing vessel designed to operate fishing trawls. Trawling is a method of fishing that involves actively dragging or pulling a trawl through the water behind one or more trawlers.

Any vessel that is not listed above and also include dinghy, longliner and recreational fishing vessel.

Almost identical in design to the luzzu but, the bulwark (tappiera) is secured to the outside of the kontrarota. The stem posts found at each end of this boat are also much higher than those of the luzzu and it has a wider appearance.

The data in the Air Transport Statistics section are compiled from administrative information provided by Malta International Airport.

Different approaches are applied for the collection of data at the Mġarr and Ċirkewwa Harbours, respectively. While the source of the data based in Mġarr is the Automated Ticketing System (ATS), data from the Ċirkewwa side is dependent on the manual clicking system.

Norway International Ship Register (NISR) is included separately due to the fact that Norway has two different registers, known as Norway and NISR.

Sea is not a port name. We have common situations were a vessel reports its last activity such as from Outside Territorial Waters (OTW) or Within Territorial Waters (WTW), depends upon activity.

Has a stern resembling that of a lanca while its bow resembles that of a luzzu.

Differs from the luzzu in being generally smaller (average length 4.6 metres) and being flat ended at the stern. Previously, they were made of wood, but in recent years, fibre-glass has been the hull material of choice.

The data in the Maritime Statistics section, including the Cargo and Trailers data are compiled from administrative information provided by Transport Malta.

Multi Purpose Vessel is a seagoing ship that is built for the carriage of a wide range of cargoes.

An Auxiliary Vessel is a vessel that is designed to operate in a number of roles supporting other vessels. Their roles may include replenishment, transport, repair, harbour, research and others.

Restriction: is a condition imposed on a vehicle's licence. Restrictions can be either temporary such as garaged, seized, resale, etc., or permanent (i.e. vehicle is indefinitely removed from circulation on national territory), such as exported, scrapped or destroyed. In this publication only data of the main four restrictions (resale, exported, scrapped, garaged) are reported.

Garaged: vehicle no longer licensed for use on the road. This category excludes vehicles which have been scrapped or exported. A vehicle may be garaged for a particular period, then re-licensed after this period.

Other: other minor restrictions such as seized by police, no engine, etc.

Exported: vehicle licensed in Malta which has been exported.

Represents manual and online tests carried out on vehicles

Re-sale: vehicle which has been de-licensed and put up for re-sale.

Scrapped: vehicle which has been scrapped and therefore, indefinitely removed from circulation. There are instances where a vehicle is unscrapped and restored such as in the cases of vintage cars.

Represents tests carried out manually and later inputted online (showing passed only for both initial and retest)

Road tractors having a maximum speed exceeding 40KM/h are now subject to a VRT test.

There will be stricter enforcement on those vehicles which were originally manufactured with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and which are found to be tampered with. This will also apply to Heavy Goods Vehicles using Adblue, specifically in cases where the DPF is found to have been bypassed or eliminated. Vehicles will fail the test if it they emit smoke of any colour from the exhaust. Diesel fuel has a greater negative impact on the environment and health risk factors than other fuels. The revised VRT test will make sure the Emission Control Devices are not tampered with.

Vehicle Registration and Administrative System database. It is the only register that contains the complete details of all vehicles registered and licensed in Malta.

Goods road vehicle with a gross vehicle weight above 3,500kg designed, exclusively or primarily, to carry goods.

Road motor vehicle designed, exclusively or primarily, to haul other road vehicles which are not power driven (mainly semi-trailers).

Vehicle restrictions

The revised VRT test will ascertain that all vehicles manufactured since September 2009 have working reverse lights and for vehicles which were manufactured with headlight washers, the latter must be working. The test will check that vehicles manufactured since March 2018 have working Daytime running lights. Any Malfunction Indicator Lamps showing a fault in any of the vehicle systems is considered as a failing item.

A vehicle involved in a serious accident must undertake an ad hoc VRT test, following repairs, to confirm the safety of the vehicle and whether it has an impact on the environment.

Vehicle owners who fail to co-operate and abide with the VRT Tester's instructions can be fined up to a maximum of €500 if found guilty. Individuals who are suspected of tampering with an Odometer can be fined up to a maximum of €200, if found guilty.

VRT (Vehicle Road-Worthiness Test)

Malta is implementing the above changes to the VRT test in accordance with the Directive 2014/45/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, which aims to ensure a harmonised, high quality VRT test across EU member states. The cost of the VRT test will not be increased due to these changes.

Pass with Minor Defects - The vehicle has passed the test because the defects found have no significant effect on the safety of the vehicle or impact on the environment. Defects found need to be repaired as soon as possible.Fail with Major Defects - The vehicle has not passed the VRT test since the defects found may affect the vehicle's safety, put other road users at risk or have an impact on the environment. The vehicle needs to be repaired within 16 days and re-tested.Fail with Dangerous Defects - The vehicle has not passed the VRT test since it constitutes a direct and immediate risk to road safety or hasa serious impact on the environment. The vehicle cannot be driven on the road until it is repaired and re-tested.
