Malta Freeport Terminals Limited benefits from reliable and experienced shareholders providing a solid foundation for further growth.

Following the privatisation of Malta Freeport Terminals in 2004, the Freeport now has a strong shareholding structure composed of Terminal Link, the leading container terminal operator; Yildirim Group, one of the leading global diversified industrial groups in Turkey; as well as the strong presence of CMA CGM, the world’s third-largest shipping line; and  China Merchants Port Holdings Company Limited, the largest terminal operator in China. This solid shareholding mix strongly supports the Company’s investment initiatives to further enhance the Freeport’s market position and competitiveness as a leading hub in the Mediterranean.
