Malta is stepping up its maritime security protocols in response to growing global threats. Transport Malta has announced new security measures that will be integrated into the ship registration process, aiming to ensure the highest levels of safety and security for vessels under the Maltese flag. The new measures include advanced vetting procedures, mandatory security audits, and enhanced monitoring of registered vessels. Additionally, ships will be required to implement state-of-the-art cybersecurity systems to protect against potential cyber-attacks. These enhancements will help Malta maintain its high standards of maritime security and attract shipowners who prioritize safety and compliance.
