Malta has added vessels worth 8.3m gt to its register in 2015, a rise of 14.3%.
The new figure is 66.2m gt, local media reported, leaving it as the biggest flag in Europe once more.
It welcomed 900 ships to the register last year.
“Malta has also continued to consolidate its positive results in terms of its technical performance, reinforcing the quality of its registered fleet and its firm commitment towards safe, secure and clean shipping,” Transport Malta said.
“This is also a result of the drive by the Maltese shipping community to attract more young and innovative tonnage to the fleet.”
