The Privatisation Unit (PU), acting on behalf of Malta Enterprise (Ministry for the Economy, Investment and Small Business), is re-issuing a public Request for Proposals (RFP) in connection with a Concession to Design, Construct, Finance, Operate and Maintain an International Logistics Hub (ILH) at Hal Far.

The ILH will act as a strategic hub in the Maltese Islands for international business. It is expected that the Successful Proponent will obtain from Customs appropriate authorizations, permits or licenses to operate a Customs Free Zone or a Customs Warehouse in accordance with the relevant legislation complete with, if applicable, inventory system, proprietary software, specialized training and related procedures.

It is envisaged that the whole Site may be developed and, considering that the height above ground is capped at circa twenty five metres (25m) with an underground depth of up to circa eight metres (8m), a scenario of an absolute maximum volume of 1.48 million m3 may be expected. 

The site of the ILH is located on the main thoroughfare which links the Freeport and Hal Far Industrial Estate with most of the main centres of economic activity, including the airport and the larger industrial areas of the Island. It is the arterial road that links the port of Marsaxlokk all the way to the north of Malta onward to Cirkewwa where a ferry service link to the island of Gozo.

The closing date for the submission of the RFP Proposals is April, 3 2017.
