Times of Malta, Sunday, June 23, 2013
The Malta Maritime Law Association (MMLA) recently joined the rest of the maritime community in Europe to celebrate European Maritime Day.
To celebrate the occasion the association organised an event during which its president, Ann Fenech, conferred, for the first time, an honorary membership on Joe Borg, former EU Commissioner, Lino Vassallo, Permanent Representative of Malta to the International Maritime Organisation and former Registrar General of Shipping and Seamen, and John Sullivan, chairman of Tug Malta, for their invaluable contribution to the maritime sector.
The association was set up in 1994 with the aim of promoting the study and advancement of maritime law. The MMLA is an affiliated member of the Comité Maritime International, the oldest international organisation in the maritime field, established in 1897.
Attending the event were 74 delegates, including Economy, Investment and Small Business Minister Chris Cardona.
