Wilhelmsen Port Services Malta Ltd is the Maltese port services and ship agency office of the Wilhelmsen maritime group, based at Wilhelmsen House on Valletta Waterfront, Pinto Wharf, Floriana. It handles ships' agency and husbandry work for vessels calling at Valletta and Marsaxlokk. Enquiries go through the VisitMalta.co.uk form on this page.
Wilhelmsen Port Services Malta Ltd is the local office of a global maritime group, working from Wilhelmsen House on Valletta Waterfront at Pinto Wharf in Floriana. Its job is to look after ships that call at Maltese ports: arranging the port call, liaising with the port and providing the practical support a vessel needs while alongside. That makes it a business for shipowners, operators and charterers rather than holidaymakers, but its work touches a large part of the harbour life you see around Valletta.
The office appears in our directory of marina and marine services in Malta, where you can compare other businesses serving boats and ships.
What a port services office does
Port services cover the tasks that surround a vessel's visit. The Wilhelmsen Port Services range includes agency work for port calls, husbandry, cargo operations, protective agency, bunker agency, canal transits, cruise agency and dry docking agency, together with delivery and supplies, invoicing and administration. The Malta page highlights port restrictions, docking, product delivery, agents, canal transits and husbandry services.
Husbandry means the day-to-day needs of a ship and crew in port, such as arranging supplies and services, and the group runs a husbandry team for operations in Malta. A full-agency service is available at both Valletta and Marsaxlokk, and Karl Magro is the general manager of the Maltese office, supported by ships agency representatives and the husbandry team.
Marine products and ship management in Malta
Alongside port services, Wilhelmsen supplies marine products through its Ships Service business, which offers well-known brands such as Unitor, Timm, Nalfleet and Navadan. The product areas include tank and hold cleaning, fuels, gas and cylinders, mooring, refrigeration, speciality marine lubricants, water, welding and repair, and emission control chemicals. For Maltese clients, the Malta page directs product enquiries to a customer support centre in Italy.
For technical management, crew management, crew building and vessel accounting, clients in Malta are directed to the group's ship management offices elsewhere in the world, and recruitment enquiries go to its manning offices. This is a group structure, so the Malta office acts as the local point of contact.
The Wilhelmsen group behind the office
Wilhelmsen traces its history to 1861 and has developed from sailing ships through steam and diesel to modern maritime services. The group operates in 53 countries and serves more than 2,200 ports, and it is organised into three business segments: Maritime Services, New Energy and Strategic Holdings and Investments. Maritime Services is the segment that includes Port Services, Ships Service and Ship Management.
The group has 241 offices around the world, so a shipowner dealing with the Malta office can draw on a wide network when a voyage involves other ports.
Energy transition and responsibility
Wilhelmsen launched its New Energy segment in 2021 to support the maritime industry's energy transition. The segment includes NorSea Group and investments in offshore wind and digital companies, and the group also develops digital services designed to improve safety and reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Its Ships Service business carries news articles on subjects such as water treatment, mooring safety and refrigerant cylinders.
The group also gives 20 per cent of the value it generates each year to the Tom Wilhelmsen Foundation, a commitment made in 1965 that supports science, social welfare, humanitarian aid, culture and scholarships. A confidential whistleblowing channel is open to employees and outside stakeholders.
