The Market

Why do Malta ship chandlers need faster quoting?

Malta sits at the crossroads of the central Mediterranean, on the main east-west artery between Gibraltar and Suez. The Malta Freeport at Marsaxlokk is one of the Mediterranean's busiest container transshipment hubs, while the Grand Harbour at Valletta handles bunkering, ship repair, cruise and offshore work. Malta also runs one of the world's largest ship registries, so a steady flow of vessels calls for stores, spares and provisions, and chandlers win on quoting speed.
