Melita Marine Group sails east … and west of Malta

Melita Marine Group has just made an investment in ptw Shipyard Tarragona, which started operating in late 2016. In just over two years, this yard has acquired a solid reputation for good workmanship and a wide-ranging subcontractor network.

With a shipyard area of over 15,000m2 and more than 3,000m2 of workshop and office space, a 180m technical quay and a travel lift for yachts of up to 50m, ptw Shipyard – Melita Marine Group now offers a complete suite of services even in Spain. Located close to Barcelona and the Balearic island of Palma de Mallorca, the partnership is poised to serve this bustling superyacht hub in the best way possible.

For the Malta-based Melita Marine Group this new partnership is a strategic move to consolidate its position in the Mediterranean superyacht service area. The Group now has the capacity to offer its yard and engineering services at its dry-docking facilities up to 100 meters as well as in-water berths up to 180 meters in Malta, Greece and Spain.

Pierre Balzan, chairman of Melita Marine Group, commented: “We are very proud to have struck this partnership with our Spanish colleagues. By spreading its wings on both sides of the Mediterranean basin, the Group now offers the superyacht industry all the services it needs, whenever they are in the locations we operate in or if it needs us to fly to their location.”

Melita Marine Group is also MTU exclusive distributors for Malta and Greece as well as Awlgrip distributors with an inhouse paint team. www.melitamarinegroup.net www.ptwshipyard.com www.melitapowerdiesel.com
