Solicitor for Maritime Law in Siggiewi

I obtained a court judgment against a shipping company based in Malta through legal proceedings in another country, and I now want to actually enforce that judgment against the company’s assets in Malta. Is this something Maltese courts would actually recognise and allow?

I work as crew on a vessel operated by a shipping company based in Malta, and there have been concerning signs the company might be facing serious financial difficulty, potentially heading toward insolvency. I’m worried about what would happen to my unpaid wages if the company actually goes bankrupt.

I’m planning to start a business in Malta offering commercial boat trips for tourists, taking paying passengers out on excursions. I want to understand what licences or certifications are actually required before I can legally operate this kind of commercial passenger service.

I operate a vessel registered under the Malta flag and I’m looking to hire crew members who are not Maltese nationals. I want to understand whether this is permitted, and what kind of certification or documentation these crew members would actually need to legally work on a Maltese-registered ship.

I imported goods into Malta by sea and discovered upon arrival that a portion of the cargo had been damaged during transit. I want to understand my rights as the cargo owner to seek compensation, and from whom this claim would actually need to be pursued.

I own a vessel currently registered under the Malta flag, and I’m considering either selling it to a buyer who wants to register it elsewhere, or reflagging it myself under a different jurisdiction. What’s actually involved in deregistering a ship from the Maltese registry?

I own a yacht currently registered elsewhere and I’m considering re-registering it under the Malta flag, having heard this is a popular choice internationally. What are the actual practical benefits of doing this, and is the process genuinely straightforward?

I’m not an EU citizen and I’m interested in registering my yacht under the Malta flag given its international reputation. I want to understand whether my nationality would actually prevent me from doing this, or whether Malta’s ship registry is genuinely open to non-EU owners as well.
