The Malta Shortsea Promotion Centre (MSPC) is a non-profit and non-commercial voluntary organisation that collaborates and co-ordinates its activities with the relevant stake-holders in the transport and logistics industry in Malta that have a commercial, business or public interest in the industry. It affords a greater and more effective synergy between these stakeholders and the industry participants.

Furthermore, the MSPC is an active member of the European Shortsea Network (ESN). The ESN is a cooperation between all national shortsea promotion centres. Its main objective is to promote shortsea in the broadest sense of the word on a European level.
