Infrastructure Malta seeks to set up a new cargo facility with the aim to eliminate bottlenecks within the Grand Harbour by reducing vessel waiting time and to improving efficiency with the Port. The project is based on the development of a quay at Ras Hanzir up to Laboratory Wharf and Magazine Wharf within the Grand Harbour of Malta to cater for the increase in berthing demand mainly for cargo vessels. The proposed investment entails the provision of a quay and support facilities to allow for the berthing of Ro-Ro (Roll-on / Roll-off) vessels, general cargo operations, enable future operation of tankers and bunker barges from this location. The development consists of the removal and levelling of the existing mooring structures, the removal and levelling of the existing dumped materials, soil consolidation, the reclamation of land using mainly recycled materials, the construction of a quay wall to retain a reclaimed area of approximately 22,500 m2 between Fuel Wharf and Laboratory Wharf, the re-grading of the existing landside area along the existing coastline at Ras Ħanżir and the construction of the quay deck pavement and underground services.
