Valletta

Valletta is the capital of the Mediterranean island nation of Malta, a member of the European Union. The Port of Valletta, a natural deep-water harbour, extends for about 3.6 kilometres inland. Its two-arm breakwater renders it a safe, all-weather port throughout the year, open on a 24 hour basis, although entrance may be restricted during strong Easterly winds. The Port of Valletta is a multi-purpose port equipped to offer a large spectrum of maritime services. Companies operating at the port include Palumbo Shipyards and MMH Malta Ltd. It is also the location of Valletta Cruise Port.
