The three-step process will be this: 🔹 PQQ (Pre-Qualification Questionnaire) – Interested developers must provide information on their economic stance and offshore wind related experience. The 5 candidates with the highest capabilities will be selected as “Shortlisted Candidates” with 2 more candidates as “Reserve Candidates”. The shortlisted candidates will be invited to the ITPD phase – A detailed breakdown of the section criteria has already been shared in the PQQ; 🔹 ITPD (Invitation To Participate in Dialogue) – The Gov. of Malta’s Dialogue Team, comprised of experts shall have the right to discuss the technical, legal, commercial and/or financial requirements of the Project with the Shortlisted Candidates; 🔹 BAFO (Best And Final Offer) – The publication of an invitation to tender, under which all Shortlisted Candidates shall be invited to submit a best and final offer for the Project, including a detailed technical and financial final offer.

The Malta Maritime Forum and Malta Employers' Association teamed up to organise a visit to the Malta Freeport for a 40-strong delegation from Group 1 (Employers) of the European Economic and Social Committee headed by their President, Stefano Mallia. The visit was supported by Malta Freeport Terminals and Tug Malta. The Group was driven around the Freeport’s facilities, in particular the Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 Quays. A tour of Marsaxlokk Bay followed, on board two Tugboats – MT St Angelo and MT Vittoriosa where delegation also viewed ongoing construction works on the Squaring Off Project of Terminal 2. The Group also heard the Employers’ and Forum’s views about the flaws of the EU ETS regime and the challenges it is posing on several transhipment hubs in EU Mediterranean ports including the Malta Freeport itself. The delegation heard how, as anticipated, ETS has distorted competition between EU and non-EU ports to the extent that major shipping lines and alliances are investing heavily in new transhipment terminal facilities in North African ports with the ultimate aim of shifting their operations in the Mediterranean outside the EU. Although the objective of the EU ETS is a commendable one, its implementation is proving very detrimental to EU ports in the Mediterranean because in the absence of a global market-based measure, they cannot compete in the resultant unfair competitive conditions. Besides, the situation is further complicated by current geo-political tensions, supply-chain complexities and uncertainty on the fuel of the future.

FuelEU Maritime will not leave any ships or fuel systems as stranded assets, a European Commission representative told a Capital Link forum today (July 1). Ricardo Batista, a policy officer at the transport directorate DG Move, sought to dismiss shipowner fears that the upcoming EU regulation will mean far greater penalties for noncompliance than the EU ETS, to which the industry is still adapting. FuelEU imposes increasing limits on carbon content in fuel that mean the renewable element ratchets up from 2% in 2025, 6% in 2030, and 14.5% in 2035, up to 80% by 2050. Batista said the limits were “rather mild” for the 15 years from 2025, meaning operators had plenty of time to adapt by blending biofuels, using shore power and installing wind propulsion. He said FuelEU did not make any fuel pathway redundant, since LNG ships could use bio-methane and conventional ships biodiesel https://lnkd.in/eUkB3snq
