Gozo Channel Company Limited has announced that works will be carried out on the MV Malita at the Malta Shipyards and that it will be out of service until the 8th of June. During this period cargo trips to and from Sa Maison will be temporarily suspended. Operators are requested to use the Cirkewwa port in the interim period. Three additional trips will be added to the weekday schedule to make up for the shortfall in capacity : � The 06:45 trip from both Cirkewwa and Mgarr will be substituted by two trips at 06:30 and 07:00 hours, � The two early afternoon trips scheduled at 12:15 and 13:15 hours will be replaced with four trips, performed instead at 12:00, 12:30, 13:00 and 13:30 hours. A shuttle service will also be provided if demand so necessitates. . During weekends an additional trip will be introduced in the early afternoon which will allow trips to be spaced out over 45 minute intervals. This means that the trips which are usually operated between 12:15 and 13:15 will be replaced with trips at 12:00, 12:45, 13:30 hours. These extra crossings will remain operational until the MV Malita returns to service.
