The ports have been at a complete standstill over the past three days because of the strong winds and rough seas, with no less than 25 ships, including one carrying a consignment of gas cylinders, waiting to enter Grand Harbour.
On Tuesday night, when wind gusts reached Force 11, several ships in port broke away from their moorings.
Some minor damage caused by the strong wind was reported during the night in various localities where trees and electricity poles were knocked down.
Employees of the Public Cleanliness Department of the Ministry of Resources and Infrastructure were called out during the night to Great Siege Road, Valletta and Regional Road, Swieqi to clear the roads of bricks and rubble from collapsed walls.
Members of the Civil Protection Department were also busy clearing the streets of fallen trees and debris. CPD chief Peter Cordina said no serious incidents were reported.
No one was injured when a tree fell on a parked car in Attard early yesterday morning.
