Virtu Ferries Gozo is pleased to announce the company’s fares for the Gozo – Malta high speed ferry service commencing 1st June 2021.
San Frangisk and San Pawl do not need any introduction. Both vessels, formerly operating on the Malta – Sicily route, recently returned to Malta from the company’s international route between Venice and Adriatic ports.
Virtu were official carriers to His Holiness Pope John Paul II in 1990. San Frangisk will be remembered for the memorable visit to Gozo of HH Pope John Paul II, the re-entry in Grand Harbour is part of Malta’s recent history. Virtu were also official carriers to HH Pope Benedict XVI on his Grand Harbour crossing in 2010, this time on San Pawl.
Virtu Ferries, a Maltese shipping company with a proven record operating international routes between Malta and Sicily, Venice and Adriatic ports in Croatia and Slovenia, Spain and Morocco in the Straits of Gibraltar, the Caribbean and the Red Sea, are delighted to be given the opportunity to operate the domestic route between Gozo and Malta. This coincides with the launching of our domestic operation between La Spezia, Portovenere and Cinque Terre in Liguria, Italy.

Early reports and research have shown that events without masks and social distancing are just as safe as going to a restaurant or a shopping centre despite the COVID-19 pandemic. With a nightclub in Liverpool, matches at Wembley and World Snooker Championships in Sheffield serving as test events, preliminary data suggests that COVID-19 transmission can be reduced significantly by introducing screening and ventilation at big events.
This news could serve as a positive sign to the future of entertainment and mass events not only globally, but also in Malta. With measures being eased, mass events are still illegal, being some of the measures to be lifted last due to fear of virus spikes. However, the afore-mentioned measures along with the highly successful vaccine rollout in Malta, could give the green light to the future of mass events on the island.

Xarabank host Peppi Azzopardi took to Facebook to invite people to read the abortion bill proposed by Marlene Farrugia. He points out that, according to the bill, a baby can be aborted throughout any point during the pregnancy – even a day before the birth. He continues by bringing up arguments that people may have in favour of the bill. He references the fear that the mother could potentially die due to pregnancy and thus warrants the abortion.

Azzopardi states that throughout the last 10 years, 40,000 babies were born, and despite abortion not being legalised, not a single mother died due to pregnancy. He also makes reference to his perspective on prison, stating that women in jail are mistreated and yet none of them are given aid. He says that no woman was imprisoned in the past 60 years due to abortion.
He concludes by saying that the reason for his vlog is to defend women, especially women who were not given the chance to be born. Azzopardi later took to Facebook to express his concerns about the comments made about Marlene in response to the video. In his post, Azzopardi says that Marlene Farrugia helps several people who lose their teeth because of drugs. He emphasises this to state that Marlene believes in solidarity and encourages people to combat the arguments not the person.
