Storm Harry Shows Need For Permanent Link Between Malta & Gozo Says Gozo Business Chamber

‘The past few days have continued to show how accessibility remains at the core of Gozo’s present and future’, the Gozo Business Chamber wrote in a statement.

‘The adverse weather conditions have […] shown Gozo’s dependency on one mode of transport which has seen Gozo cut out completely from the rest of the world.’

‘People were stranded, and flights and appointments were missed because our sole mode of transport between the two islands could not operate’, said GBC.

‘The Chamber thus calls for the discussion of the permanent link between the two islands to be reconsidered. The Chamber was the main promoter of the project ensuring is inclusion in the country’s policy agenda.’

Thanking all the Gozo Channel workers as well s the disciplined forces for their work during Storm Harry, the Chamber emphasised that ‘one project does not exclude another.’

‘In fact, the planned expansion of the Gozo Channel fleet and the permanent link project would complement each other, strengthening the islands’ resilience.’
