Since operations began in 1988, Malta Freeport has established itself as a major maritime transshipment logistic centre in the Mediterranean presently ranking with the key players in the region. Malta Freeport Terminals Limited amalgamates the activities of container handling and industrial storage and is renowned for its business culture, the relative absence of red tape and its ability to adapt quickly to changing trade patterns. To operate and further develop Malta Freeport Terminals, the Government of Malta awarded CMA CGM a 30-year concession in October 2004. Furthermore, in February 2008 CMA CGM was granted an extension of the concession for Malta Freeport Terminals from 30 years to 65 years.

The Freeport now offers a total operational quay length of 2km, a total area for container storage of 650,000 square metres and a total of 14,040 container ground slots.
