Organisation Members

MISA members are owners and operators of the Malta flagged fleet. MISA membership is open to companies which are registered owners or bareboat charterers of Maltese ships. It compliments registration under the Malta flag demonstrating a genuine link with Malta that goes beyond economic or operational necessity. The current MISA member ships represent a substantial amount of tonnage of various types of ships registered in Malta operated by reputable owners and operators of high stature from several countries. Thus, MISA provides a strong representation of the vessels that fly the Malta flag, including the diversity of the fleet and ownership.
