Space will be allocated in Marsaxlokk to permanently store boats and the trailers used to transport them.
The local council said in a statement that it had been informed by the authorities that an area would be identified within eight months.
While pointing out that it appreciated this initiative, the council said it hoped the deadline would be kept to rectify a situation that had been problematic for years.
In fact, over the past few months, several trailers and boats have been removed by the council and the police, it said.
