Company Profile

The company was originally set up in 1860 under the name C&G Fratelli Mifsud by the great great grandfather of Ivan Mifsud, today's managing director, its main function being that of attending vessels entering the Grand Harbour.

In 1933, it was found necessary to change its name to Mifsud Brothers Ltd, the very same name under which it still operates today from 27, South Street, Valletta with a satellite office at 14 Lighters Wharf in the innermost part of the Grand Harbour.

The 1945-50 period was a memorable one in the history of Mifsud Brothers. This was the time when the company, headed by Paul Mifsud (Ivan’s grandfather) was appointed General Agents for Cunard White Star Passenger Line, Cunard Steam Cargo Line, as well as Swan Hellenic.

On the 29th October 1998 the Grand Harbour welcomed Cunard's flagship, the Queen Elizabeth 2. This was a particularly happy moment, as this maiden call to Malta fittingly crowned fifty years of continuous service to Cunard Line by three generations of the Mifsud Brothers family.

Today, with its vast experience, MBL is in a position to handle vessels ranging from luxury mega-yachts to transatlantic liners. Moreover, it has also assisted several ships undergoing repairs and refurbishing at Malta Drydocks.

The MBL Malta Cruise Services Team, together with its associate destination management, company, Intertravel, are experienced in handling cruise passengers including pre- and post- cruise packages, all designed to allow clients to visit the more interesting sites of the Maltese Islands. Tailor-made shore excursions are organized for leading cruise companies. A reference list is available on request.
