Set up at the end of 2005, Malta Motorways of the Sea (MMS) quickly established itself as an indispensable tool to support the industrial and commercial development of Malta and the growth of its economy. MMS started its operations to guarantee service continuity in the wake of the liquidation of Sea Malta, the State-owned shipping line.

Since inception, the Company, within the framework of Grimaldi Group, has developed an unprecedented network of Ro/Ro links between Malta and a number of Mediterranean destinations. Regular services link the Maltese islands to Civitavecchia, Catania, Salerno, Genoa, Livorno, Tripoli/ Al Khoms and to all other ports served by the Group. MMOS has a number of owned vessels registered under the Maltese Flag. The company's Chairman is Emanuele Grimaldi and its Managing Director is Ernest Sullivan.
