There are no graphical navigation buttons within the no frames environment as they are unnecessary devices which can in many cases be more of a hindrance than a help. The text links include a description box informing the user where the link will go. This can be viewed by placing the pointer over the line of text. SITE SPECIFICATION The MMA web site has been designed with all users in mind. The standard outline guide for the site was for an SVGA resolution monitor (800 x 600) using 256 colours. The site is quite useable with specifications lower than this. BROWSER COMPATABILITY The MMA web site has been fully tested on a number of browsers on the majority of existing computer operating systems.

SEARCHING To complete a search the user has to enter a word or collection of words into the text search box. Pressing the return key or clicking on the search button will present the user with a listing of documents which correspond to the search details. These results will be rated, the most complete matches will be listed first, decreasing in relevence as the user goes further down the list.

From its position astride one of the major arteries of shipping. Malta offers a whole range of international maritime services and facilities: deep natural harbours and well equipped ports which offer a haven for international shipping, extensive bunkering, ship supplies and towage services, ship building and ship repair yards which can take the largest ships afloat, modern facilities for transhipment and distribution, including a very successful Freeport and oil terminal, high level training for both deck and engineering officers at a very well respected nautical school, a hub for cruise liners, international yacht marinas backed by efficient repair and shore support services and of course, an international ship register which is now long established as one of the largest in the world. Malta also hosts the Regional Marine Pollution Emergency Response Centre for the Mediterranean Sea, The IMO International Maritime Law Institute, and the International Ocean Institute. Malta is committed to further expansion as an international service centre. This is manifested by the continuous development of what already is a sophisticated legal and financial regime, by the huge investment in infrustructural services, and by the sheer determination to succeed both on the part of the authorities and also of the substantial number of highly trained professionals who provide excellent back-up services. It is from within this framework of an international maritime and service centre that Malta offers the international shipping community a thriving and reputable open ship register, one of the eight largest registers in the world. The Malta Flag is today a flag of confidence, a flag of choice, its good standing evidenced both by the number of ship owning and ship management companies of repute which register their ships in Malta, and also by the confidence shown by the leading international banks and financiers who at times recommend the Maltese register. The Malta maritime flag is the flag of a well-established, yet dynamic, maritime centre. The Malta international ship register completes the wide range of services, which is Maritime Malta and at the same time draws its strength from being an integral part of a truly international maritime and service centre.

In prehistoric times the first inhabitants of the islands must have crossed over from Sicily using rafts or simple vessels such as dug out canoes. Aspects of early man's relationship with the sea are depicted in the fish relief of Tarxien temple (to date) as well as the ship graffiti found at the same place of worship. In the Bronze Age vessels visited the island to procure the fine linen and cloth produced by the inhabitants and which seems to have been a thriving industry on the island. The visitors brought with them various goods including pottery from the Aegean. It was the Phoenicians, however that first used the islands as a major staging post for their trade and shipping activity. Initially visiting as traders they eventually colonised the islands making use of the numerous harbours available on Malta and Gozo. The islands were an essential stop over for the east-west trade conducted by the Phoenicians across the Mediterranean and beyond. Towards the 7th century BC the Phoenician colony of Carthage came into prominence and took over as the main traders as well as naval power in the Mediterranean. Malta now came to play an important role on the north-south trade between North Africa and Mediterranean Europe areas especially Sicily and Southern Italy. This trade is attested in Malta and Gozo by archaeological finds from both an underwater context as well as from land finds. The Punic Wars saw the islands fall into the hands of the emerging Mediterranean superpower of the time, the Romans. During the Roman period Malta and Gozo enjoyed a prosperous spell mainly derived from the local textile industry and sea borne trade. The islands are blessed with a wealth of archaeological sites which bear out the thriving economy of the islands. We also have confirmation of the islands' status from various writers of antiquity, some of whom describe the trade and harbours of the islands. The seas around the island have produced some important archaeological remains which have helped shed more light on the maritime past of the islands. Subsequent periods of the islands' history include the Byzantine, which saw the island used as a stop over for both the empire's navy as well as her trade. Eventually the Arabs ousted the Byzantines and established themselves on the island. That vessels made frequent use of the harbours is evidenced by the numerous Semitic place names with a maritime connotation such as Marsa, meaning harbour, and Mgarr, meaning a loading place. Throughout the rest of the Middle Ages the archipelago found itself on the main trade routes once again. An important naval battle was fought in 1283 between the Angevins and Aragonese and this took place in the main harbour of Malta. Ships visited the islands to pick up the cotton grown on the island as well as to drop of grain and other supplies. It was the coming of the knights in 1530 that gave continued impetus to the maritime character of Malta and Gozo. This because many of the local inhabitants found employment with the Order's navy as well as other auxiliary services related to shipbuilding and victualling. Enterprising individuals took to trade and corsairing, fitting out locally built vessels and sailing to all corners of the Mediterranean and beyond. In the 18th century Maltese traders were well known as far a field as the coasts of Spain and the island itself became one of the first freeports, with specially constructed warehouses made available by the Grandmasters to traders and ship owners. When the islands were taken over by the British the latter found a population attuned to a life bound to the sea as well as an infrastructure that complemented the requirements for their powerful navy. Not only were seamen employed with the Royal Navy but rope makers, carpenters and sail makers made their skills available to the naval establishment on the island. The British developed and expanded the maritime services and structures that had been started by the Order of St John as well as established new ones such as the dry-docks and the massive breakwater at the mouth of the harbour. However it was not just the British that took advantage of the island's strategic position. The locals invested in ships and trade and were also quick to exploit opportunities when these presented themselves. One such opportunity was provided by the opening of the Suez Canal which helped transform the island into an essential coaling station. Since the gaining independence Malta has continued to be at the forefront of maritime activity in the Mediterranean. The Freeport, yachting, cruise liners and ship registration are amongst the activities that have grown substantially in the past few decades. With the proposed development of additional marinas, a new cruise liner terminal and the expansion of the Freeport, the future of maritime Malta looks set to expand. It would not be unreasonable to say that this is a future built on an ancient and solid tradition.

Malta, with Valletta as its capital, is the largest island of the group. Strategically located at the centre of the Mediterranean Sea, at the confluence of the major sea lanes linking Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, Malta's unique position affords easy access to these markets and beyond. The Maltese Islands are politically and economically stable, with a sound legal and financial framework. Industry and exports, tourism and financial services are the pillars of the Maltese economy. The country's communication facilities are excellent, with a highly sophisticated digital telecommunications infrastructure that ensures a global business environment at all times. In addition, Malta is readily accessible from major European and North African destinations and has direct air links to most major European and North African cities, Middle East and Arab Gulf States.

At the centre of countless shipping routes, these ports provide a wide variety of professional shipping services of value to major commercial entities. The Grand Harbour of Valletta is Malta's main port, and one of the most spectacular natural deep water harbours in the Mediterranean. This port, girdled as it is by an uninterrupted line of fortifications of enormous proportions, is becoming an ever increasingly popular port for cruise passengers. The Malta Freeport, situated at the southern tip of Malta, has become an important transshipment centre in the Mediterranean. Apart from acting as a safe and secure haven for seafaring vessels of all types and sizes, the Grand Harbour also offers a comprehensive service that takes care of practically all maritime requirements - a service that reflects the care, commitment and knowledg
