The Organising Authority of the 2024 SB20 European Championships have published a comprehensive transport guide to assist crews planning on competing in Malta with information on how to ship their SB20s for the 2024 Europeans. For many competitors, transporting their boats to Malta is crucial and to ensure a seamless experience, SB20 Malta’s transport guide provides information on shipping options, logistics, and essential considerations.
Transporting your boat to Malta involves several options, each with its own set of advantages and considerations:
1) Genoa to Palermo by GNV Ferries then Pozzallo to Malta by Virtu Ferries
2) Sicily to Malta by Virtu Ferries
3) Genoa to Malta by Grimaldi RoRo Service
4) By Container Service
5) By Road Haulage Service
The transport guide describes each option in more detail helping you to choose the best one! If you need assistance from the Organising Authority, here are the contacts, please contact the organising committee as per below:
