maltatoday | SUNDAY • 23 MAY 2021 6 BOATING OWNING a yacht brings many respon- sibilities with it, primarily maintenance and upkeep. These floating palaces de- serve a cosy home for winter and a relax- ation place for the summer season. Today Melita Marine Group operates in Malta, Spain, Greece and Cyprus. Each location is set up specifically to provide a bespoke and high-quality service de- signed to meet the ever-growing demand for refits on yachts and the super yachting industry. Malta is located right in the middle of the Mediterranean connecting the com- pany's facilities for optimising the ser- vices to the client's requests. It is at this strategic position that the company con- centrates its facilities and services to offer quality services at reasonable pricing. Melita Marine Group has several pres- tigious brands under its belt. The group represents MTU Engine and Rolls Royce Power Systems, Detroit Engines, SCAN- IA Engines, Quantum stabilisers service, ALFA LAVAL Systems, AWLGRIP and Prop Speed, among other brands. These are some of the best-known brands in the world which highlight the group's com- mitment quality. With over 32 years experience, the group offers standard yachting services. Due to the initial success, an expansion plan was carefully laid out with the ul- timate goal of providing a fully compre- hensive range of yachting services in Mal- ta and Europe. The services now include yard facilities for yachts from 12m up to 100m, agency, yacht charter, yacht man- agement, yacht sales, customs clearance, duty-free supplies and bunkering. After gaining invaluable experience and a deep understanding of the Maltese yachting market, the company quickly recognised potential and set on the path to becoming a significant player in the Mediterranean and world yachting industry. The combined in-house services Meli- ta Marine Group offers, together with its specialised team of professional project managers, will take care of every aspect of yacht repair, maintenance or the refitting of yachts up to 100m. The company offers out of water annu- al yacht maintenance (dry-docking), to large interventions on yachts. That might include work on the main engine, gener- ator replacement, painting works, teak deck replacement and interior refurbish- ment backed up by an in-house drawing office. Throughout the years the com- pany has executed reconstruction works or conversions from yachts into luxury superyachts of some of the most prestig- ious yachts-built dating back as far as the steam era. Its professional approach to the process of project leading, including service work, repair or a major refit is exemplary. The company utilises its expert knowledge and vast experience during the entire work cycle to make sure clients get the highest level of service - that inclusive A to Z, from taking the vessel in, right up to its delivery. Melita Marine Group has qualified per- sonnel on hand round the clock, who are trained in all yard and engineering skills including painting applications and the erection of thermo-covers in addition to experienced craftsmen that specialise in teak decking, steel, grp, wood, aluminum, steel, stainless steel constructions, and engine room equipment. Right from the outset, the company worked with dedication, engagement and a deep commitment to all the projects it has carried out, always meeting its cus- tomers' requests. Staff are very passionate about yachts and about what they do. The company only engages committed and ful- ly qualified professionals who keep abreast of technological advances and industry trends with continual training in order to be able to undertake every kind of task. Given the current high demand the yacht market is experiencing, Melita Marine Group caters to that demand by providing every single client with the highest level of customer service possible. It assures the best quality and efficiency in every department. The high quality of equipment and technology it uses, along with the commitment of all staff, means Melita Marine Group will retain its com- petitive advantage.
