An international expression of interest to convert a redundant shipbuilding facility into an international maritime hub was launched by the government this morning.

Investment Minister Chris Cardona said that the site, at Marsa, measures around 175,000m2.

It is anticipated that the hub will include:

* quays, berths, piers;

* support services in ship management and agency, ship broking, finance insurance and maritime legal and arbitration services;

* innovation facilities to foster research and development in maritime and marine studies, marine engineering and maritime information technology.

The expression of interest documents will be available from the Privatisation Unit between June 5 and 28.

The closing date for submitting the expression of interest is August 5.
