Transport Malta has issued Port Notice No. 10 of 2025 to remind all ship agents, bunker operators, maritime service providers, and terminal operators of the current sanctions and restrictive measures, particularly those responding to actions undermining Ukraine’s territorial integrity. All concerned parties must:
- Regularly consult the Sanctions Monitoring Board website (https://smb.gov.mt) for up-to-date sanctions and subscribe to notifications.
- Conduct thorough due diligence to ensure that vessels calling at Maltese ports or receiving services (even outside territorial waters) are not subject to sanctions or restrictive measures.
- Submit declarations of due diligence via the national single window system (tmSW) before vessel arrival, and notify the Authority for services provided outside territorial waters.
- Comply fully with all applicable obligations and cooperate with enforcement efforts.
No authorisation or clearance will be granted by the Authority unless there is full compliance with these requirements. This notice also revokes Port Notice 03/2022.
