In response to the pressing demand for increased ferry services between Malta and Gozo, Nationalist MP Alex Borg, Shadow Minister for Gozo, emphasized the urgent need for an additional Gozo Channel ferry.
Borg reiterated the Nationalist Party’s longstanding advocacy for providing Gozitans and Maltese citizens with another high-quality vessel, citing examples such as the MV Malita, MV Ta’ Pinu, and MV Gaudos.
He pointed out that the investment made by the Nationalist government 22 years ago continues to benefit the islands today.
Borg criticized the current Labour government for failing to invest in a fourth ferry over the past 11 years, instead opting to waste public funds on chartering third-class vessels that are neither accessible nor operational when needed.
This shortage results in significant delays for passengers traveling between the two islands, particularly during weekends and festivals, prolonging journeys unnecessarily.
Borg urged the government to cease squandering taxpayer money and redirect it towards essential investments, emphasizing the necessity of acquiring another ferry that adequately serves the needs of Gozo.
