Creek Developments plc held a reception for shareholders last Friday to celebrate the inauguration of the new offices, clubhouse and facilities of the Msida and Ta’ Xbiex Marinas and thank the stakeholders for their support during the past five years. The Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Joe Mizzi, presided over the inauguration.

Since taking over the operations of the Marinas from Transport Malta in January 2011, Creek Developments plc has carried out a complete refurbishment of the marinas, replacing the entire marina infrastructure and installing networked utility pedestals, access control, CCTV coverage and marina management software. Investment has also been made in human resources, with 24-hour marina assistance and a staff complement growing from three to 13 over the past five years. The completion of the new offices marks the latest stage of an investment of nearly €9 million to date, ensuring that owners of both visiting and resident yachts berthed in the Msida and Ta’ Xbiex Marinas enjoy standard-setting facilities in addition to the safe, central and sheltered location, while this important sector of the Maltese economy is presented in the best possible light.
