Transport Malta was not involved in any investigation into the actions of Greenpeace ships in confrontation with Maltese tuna fishermen over the past weeks, Transport Minister Austin Gatt told Nationalist MP Ċensu Galea in reply to a parliamentary question.
This was because Transport Malta investigated incidents at sea involving Maltese-registered vessels irrespective of where the incidents occurred, or those involving foreign-flagged vessels in Maltese waters. The incidents referred to had not involved any Maltese vessel in Maltese waters.
