One of the most prominent problems in Malta is traffic congestion. Several issues contribute to such problems, but are we making the best use of Malta's surroundings? Our coastline is surrounded by various points which would accommodate ferry services around it. Evidently the current ferry service is efficient and successful in every aspect, so why not take a step further with extending it into more locations? A solution for traffic congestion might come with such an extension. We would be allowing people to have alternative routes to reach their desired destination, instead of relying on buses only. So why not take a step forward and have such an appealing and fun way of travelling?

Travelled from Bormla to Sliema & back by ferry yesterday. It was such a pleasant journey. No traffic jams & no worries to find a parking space. Please increase these services to and from other parts of Malta - forward & upwards!!

Fantastic idea - should have these services to Valletta and Sliema from others destinations too at very reasonable tariffs. I think the Valletta Ferry is still expensive to be used every day.

How I would love a ferry service from Sliema Ferries back to Mellieha/St Paul's/Bugibba as its a nightmare on the buses .. I refuse to drive there

The ferry between Bormla and Valetta and the one from valetta to Sliema are working really well but there are no connections between the 2 which makes it impossible to go to Sliema from Cospicua by boat (it takes 1.15 to go). I would use a service to go to work everyday of there was this connection. Thanks

It is a no brainer. I live in Birgu and already catch a ferry to Valletta and would happily avoid the roads if there was one to Sliema, The ferry should be reinstated again also from Senglea and Kalkara too. The ferry to Valletta also needs to operate in the night too.

great initiative however we must ensure we keep our waters clean from rubbish and by ensuring we introduce new environmentally friendly boats . Smoking should be prohibited at all times.

I love travelling by sea. Also it solves traffic congestion.
