Based in the center of the Mediterranean, Melita Marine Group operates as a diversified maritime service organization headquartered in Malta. Founded in 1989, the company initially established itself as a yachting agency before rapidly expanding its portfolio to encompass heavy engineering, ship repair, and comprehensive logistical support. Over more than three decades, the enterprise has evolved from a local service provider into an international group with operational bases and technical workshops established across the Mediterranean, including locations in Greece, Cyprus, and Spain.
A central element of the group’s operations is its dedicated shipyard and technical division. In Malta, the company manages facilities capable of accommodating vessels up to 110 meters in length, utilizing floating docks and extensive workshop space to execute dry-docking and complex repair projects. These facilities cater to high-value assets, particularly superyachts, offering specialized services such as structural fabrication, hull painting, and interior refitting. Beyond the leisure sector, the group’s technical teams undertake critical engineering tasks for commercial shipping, naval vessels, and offshore energy platforms. This includes hull treatments, pipework, and mechanical interventions required for classification surveys and operational maintenance.
The organization maintains a strong focus on marine propulsion and power generation. Through its specialized engineering arm, the group functions as an authorized distributor and service partner for major engine manufacturers, providing overhaul and maintenance services for high-performance diesel engines. These capabilities are supported by investment in testing infrastructure, such as dynamometers, which allow for the precise calibration of marine machinery. The engineering division supports clients across various jurisdictions, deploying mobile teams to service vessels throughout the wider region.
Complementing its technical infrastructure, Melita Marine Group provides robust agency and logistical support. This division handles the administrative and operational needs of visiting vessels, ranging from customs clearance and berth management to provision supplies and crew logistics. The company also facilitates bunkering operations, ensuring fuel availability for transiting ships. By integrating technical repair capabilities with agency services and marina management, the group offers a singular point of contact for vessel captains and management companies operating along the primary Mediterranean maritime routes. Recently, the organization has moved to bridge its services between the central and western Mediterranean by establishing a permanent technical presence in the South of France.
