To increase accessibility between the islands, the Gozo Channel Line Company embarked on an ambitious project of constructing three new passenger ferries within three years.

Since the setting up of the Company in 1979, this is the �rst time in its history that new its own requirements and criteria. The newly Ta’ Pinu vessel has a carrying capacity of 900 passengers and 72 vehicles in the deck. The overall design of these ships will include accessibility for disabled persons and the elderly. It is anticipated that the second ship, the MV Gaudos , will be ready by 2001 and the MV Malita by 2002. The latter will have a hoistable deck for 66 additional vehicles.
