Making a difference… #MaltaFreeportTerminals staff played their part in this year’s European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR). Their efforts focused on promoting sustainability and raising awareness about waste reduction practices. Guided by Freeport colleague Adrian Gatt, a seasoned winner of crib competitions, they transformed recycled polystyrene and wood into remarkable cribs, merging sustainability with craftsmanship. We printed special T-shirts for the event worn by the participants that were proudly worn with the slogan One Team One Goal. Our colleagues also joined forces with the volunteers at RMJ Horse Rescue for a rewarding cleanup initiative. Their tireless efforts not only made a visible difference to the sanctuary but also showcased their dedication to both the environment and animal welfare. The RMJ team expressed deep gratitude for the remarkable impact achieved in such a short time. A huge well done to the team for their dedication and innovative ideas that made a real impact. Together, we continue to drive change for a cleaner, greener future. #Environment #WasteReduction

Blossoming partnership… #MaltaFreeportTerminals is delighted to have renewed its sponsorship agreement for the The Malta Trust Foundation Blossom Project, which offers psycho-social support at various schools in Malta, including St Benedict College in Birzebbuga. Since 2016, the Blossom Project has been offering counselling/psychotherapy services in schools, endeavouring to offer timely and effective support to children, young people, and their families as well as to educators and complementary staff. Research has shown that lack of psycho-social support in early years has a direct impact on the mental wellbeing and mental health in later years.

Red alert… Being prepared for an incident at our facility is vital, and with this in mind we carried out a full-scale simulation of an emergency situation with the collaboration of Malta’s emergency services and medical personnel. We carefully created two scenarios – an unconscious operator on a Rubber Tyred Gantry crane and an injured worker on a vessel – to put to the test the systems we have in place to react to these instances. Our colleagues treated the event with utmost seriousness and received invaluable feedback from the professionals on site on how protocols and responses could be further improved. The health and safety of everyone at the Freeport is our number one priority, and we’d like to thank all those who took part including the Civil Protection Department, Mater Dei Hospital Emergency Personnel, our in-house nurse and port doctor, Malta Freeport Corporation security personnel, and of course our staff who rose to the occasion and benefitted from this learning experience. #rapidresponse #safety #training #freeport #Malta #maritime #shipping
