Flag State Summary – Malta

For the last four years, hard copies of the UK Club's Rules and Correspondents books have been limited to reduce our impact on the planet.

The Crisis Management Team (CMT) is ensuring Thomas Miller and its business is responding swiftly to a rapidly changing situation. Central to Thomas Miller’s Business Continuity arrangements is our ability to work remotely. Our Shanghai and Hong Kong offices have been able to work from home fully and effectively since the start of the outbreak in January, allowing normal business operations to continue. From Thursday 19th March all our UK and Mainland European offices, Hong Kong and Shanghai, and US based offices will be working remotely. We will of course maintain the same high levels of service our Members have come to expect from the UK Club.

Please note that our Japan offices will be closing for three days to celebrate a collection of National holidays known as 'Golden Week'. 

​This maritime security guidance has been drafted jointly by BIMCO, ICS, INTERTANKO, INTERCARGO, and OCIMF following an incident in which a Tanker conducting STS Operations in International waters in the Persian Gulf reported a limpet mine attached to the hull of the vessel.​
