Maltese Boat Battles Stormy Waters During Rolex Middle Sea Race

Maltese Boat Battles Stormy Waters During Rolex Middle Sea Race
Oct 21 2024 Share

Rolex Middle Sea Race shared footage of a Maltese crew aboard Simon Xuereb’s Spirit of the Winds battling stormy waters as they attempted their luck at the 45th edition of the race.

Thankfully, the crew were reported safe and well, and have retired from the race after the intense battle against the weather.

Five Maltese boats have reportedly retired from the race as another 12 continue after it all began from Valletta’s Grand Harbour this weekend.

As it stands (in the past hour), the Scallywag 100 is back in front with Black Jack 100 following closely behind.

‘Still holding on to the lead under IRC is Balthasar, the Maxi 72 skippered by Rogier Van Overveld.’

Oct 21 2024 Share

Infrastructure Malta’s CEO, Steve Ellul, provided updates on the Msida redevelopment project during a media briefing.

First proposed in 2020, the project aims to address traffic congestion and improve the urban environment in one of Malta’s busiest areas, which handles 50,000 cars daily.

Following consultations and redesigns, public feedback was gathered in 2023, with the project set to start in November 2024.

The redevelopment focuses on long-term sustainability and quality of life improvements. About 60% of the project will be dedicated to open spaces, introducing approximately three football fields’ worth of green areas.

A new 2,000-square-meter piazza, comparable to Valletta’s Piazza San Ġorġ, will replace car-heavy zones, promoting a shift towards people-centric design.

Flooding, a persistent issue in Msida, will be addressed through a 300-meter canal and other flood prevention measures. Sustainable transportation is also prioritized, with new cycle lanes, walking paths, and a two-storey parking facility covered in solar panels.

The project will be completed in phases, starting with the waterfront area and key roads leading to the University of Malta and Birkirkara. Despite ongoing construction, the area will remain open to traffic.

A 10-year maintenance plan ensures long-term upkeep, with completion scheduled for 2027. Additionally, a WhatsApp group will be created for the public to join and stay informed about this first-of-its-kind project.

What do you think of this project?
