The
Malta Labour Party (MLP) believes that the Grand Harbour has the potential to
serve as a hub from where cruise liners can commence and end voyages towards
West and East of the Mediterranean, said leader Dr Alfred Sant on Wednesday.
Meeting
members from the VISET board, managing cruise liner terminal facilities, Dr
Sant also said that the harbour also has a potential in the American market.
He
explained how such a development would leave a positive impact on Malta’s economy,
adding that the MLP is prepared to help VISET expand its operations.
During
his visit Dr Sant also spoke of the MLP regional plans for the Grand Harbour,
saying that the port is one of Malta’s
greatest assets.
The
party leader also said that the MLP believes that there are niches to which the
private sector can contribute in the Grand
Harbour and that the work needed
should be carried out on models that London and Sydney Harbours
were based on.
