Fortina Investments today announced the creation of a new one-stop-shop tourism concept for Malta together with a €20 million investment in four new vessels that will benefit visitors and commuters.
The new state-of-the-art vessels, equipped with energy-saving features and measuring between 20 metres and 33 metres in length, are being built by renowned UK shipbuilder Wight Shipyard.
Operated by Captain Morgan, the ferries are to be branded with the globally-recognised City Sightseeing logo with delivery expected in the first half of next year.
These vessels will be an integral part of Fortina Investments’ innovative iSeeMalta concept, providing visitors with access through a single pass to the ferry service, City Sightseeing buses, public transport as well as museums, Heritage Malta sites, entertainment spots and other attractions.
Speaking at a press conference in the presence of the Prime Minister, Fortina Investments CEO Edward Zammit Tabona said: service and are making an unprecedented investment in new, environmentally friendly vessels as well as offering visitors and commuters the opportunity to link sea and land transport services.”
The iSeeMalta pass, available as a card and through an intuitive phone app, will be available in packages ranging from one to six days and include a Gozo option, offering tourists maximum flexibility to organise visits according to their own schedule.
iSeeMalta will also save visitors money, costing considerably less than purchasing tickets for transport and attractions individually as well containing discounts and other entertainment activities.
Zammit Tabona said: “We have managed to make prices so competitive thanks to the collaboration we’ve received from our partners, enabling visitors to benefit from a flexible and efficient service provided by an experienced operator they can trust.”
