The Ghaqda Koperattiva tas-Sajd has disassociated itself from statements by Raymond Bugeja, the secretary of the National Fisheries Cooperative, against the LNG storage tanker in Marsaxlokk Bay.
The GhKS said in a statement that as a cooperative made up of more than 180 people, it had publicly said it was not against the project, from which all the people would benefit.
The cooperative said it was working hand in hand with the authorities for the project to be improved for the benefit of fishermen as well as the tourism industry in the south.
