Joseph Bugeja, Chairman of ATTO, highlights the vital role of Malta’s international trailer operators in safeguarding the country’s supply chain and economic resilience. He stresses the sector’s importance as a strategic national service, especially during crises. At EU level, ATTO challenges policies such as ETS, electrification timelines, Combined Transport rules, and digitalisation measures that overlook Malta’s island realities. Locally, he raises serious concerns about inadequate infrastructure and the Grand Harbour Revival Plan, which threatens Ro-Ro operations. Bugeja calls for balanced progress, political recognition, and practical solutions to protect Malta’s logistics backbone and ensure uninterrupted connectivity with Europe.
