Malta Maritime Forum

The MMLA is a member of the Malta Maritime Forum (MMF) which was launched in August 2015 (see article in the Times of Malta). The MMF is a non-governmental organisation that serves as a common platform for those Malta-based entities who are involved in the maritime, logistical and transport sector in Malta.

Main objecive of the MMF is to act as a constituted body so as to consult and be consulted by the government in the development of public policies that can have a bearing on Malta’s maritime industry. In May 2021 Judge Emeritus Joseph Zammit McKeon took over the Chairmanship of the Forum from former EU Commissioner Dr Joe Borg.

Comité Maritime International (CMI)

The CMI is the oldest international organisation in the maritime field formally established in 1897 and one of the first NGOs to be granted consultative status by the IMO. The CMI is responsible for the drafting of international maritime conventions and thus sends Observers to all meetings of the IMO Legal Committee.

In 2014, Dr Ann Fenech, President of the MMLA, was nominated for and elected to the Executive Council of CMI. She was re-appointed in 2017 after her first term expired. In 2018 Dr Ann Fenech was elected Vice-President of the CMI and was re-elected by unanimous vote at the visual Assembly held in September 2021. Dr Fenech is Co-Chair of the IWG on Judicial Sales and CMI Co-Ordinator at Working Group VI UNCITRAL.
