Marsaxlokk (Port Code:MTMAR) is the major base port for 70% of the Maltese fishing fleet. It is the largest fishing port of the island’s main fishing harbour of Malta. The Port of Marsaxlokk indents the East coast of Malta between Ponta ta’ Delimara and Il- Ponta ta’ Bengħajsa, about 1 mile southwest. It is the best place to see the colourful, traditional Maltese fishing boats, the Luzzu, with the mythical eye painted on their prows.
Inhabited and well-known since antiquity, Marsaxlokk was used as a port by Phoenicians, Carthaginians and also has the remains of a Roman-era harbour. To operate and further develop Malta Freeport Terminals, the Government of Malta awarded CMA CGM a 30-year concession in October 2004. Furthermore, in February 2008 CMA CGM was granted an extension of the concession for Malta Freeport Terminals from 30 years to 65 years.
