The MMLA is a non-profit making, voluntary organisation which was set up in 1994 to promote the study and advancement of maritime law and its administration. The MMLA plays a key role in ensuring that the Maltese maritime legislative and regulatory infrastructure is constantly updated and revised which consolidates Malta’s position as an international maritime service centre. For such purpose, the MMLA is regularly consulted by Maltese authorities on Maritime law matters. The MMLA also regularly organises seminars on topical issues, most of which are addressed by prominent industry personalities.
