Fast Ferry suspended as heavy wind warning issued

Apr 21 2023

A yellow heavy wind warning has been issued by the Meteorological Office as Friday kicks off the weekend with intense East Northeast winds hitting the islands.

The same warning was issued by other weather portals like Facebook page ‘It-Temp Madwarna’, with the GozoFast Ferry suspending services for the day due to the wind’s impact on the sea and transportation.

The wind is expected to climb to Force 7, being particularly chilly as well as being considerably dusty as it churns up desert sands. The winds are expected to die down by Saturday as the rest of the weekend continues.

Saturday and Sunday are expected to be mainly sunny with temperatures feeling like 18 degrees Celsius and 19 degrees Celsius respectively.

So if anyone is inclined to go have a dip at one of Malta’s many beaches, you might want to wait it out today until the wind dies down and the spring time sunshine gives us a taste of the upcoming summer.

Apr 21 2023

On Thursday, Prime Minister Robert Abela inaugurated a €12 million factory extension by Seifert Systems at Ħal Far.

Accompanied by Minister for Energy, Environment and Enterprise Miriam Dalli, the Prime Minister praised the company for becoming the first of its nature to operate without producing environmental pollution.

The company has invested in state of the art machinery to ensure its carbon footprint is absolutely reduced. This, Abela said, works well with the government’s other measures to improve Malta’s sustainability and eco-friendliness.

In a statement, the Prime Minister highlighted how the German company, which was has been based in Malta for 50 years and employs more than 450 people, will continue to create more opportunities apart from the 140 newly created employments due to the extension.

The company is also, said Abela, employing more people from Malta whilst also increasing the skill set in technical fields like engineering.

On her part, Minister Miriam Dalli said that she is proud of the investments being attracted to Malta and how it will be investing a further €9 million to expand the business in Malta whilst diversifying into manufacturing of electronics.

Nas Daily highlights rarest passport in the world: Order of Malta

Vlogger and entrepreneur Nas Daily continued to highlight more of Malta’s iconic culture to his millions of followers – and this time, he focused on the Order of Malta’s passport, the rarest one in the world.

Nas Daily, real name Nuseir Yassin, recounted the 1,000 year old history of the humanitarian order to explain how they use the passport to aid people all over the world instead of going on vacations.

112 countries accept the passport, and is officially stronger than the Indian, Chinese and Thai passports. With only 500 holders, they use it to travel to crisis zones to provide humanitarian aid.

The Hospitaller order’s relationship to Malta is of course well known by the inhabitants of the island, having formed a very big part of the historical timeline.

And thanks to Nas, this history is being taught to millions of people following his content – and will hopefully inspire some tourists to make their way to the Mediterranean islands!
