On 13 December, Malta’s Republic Day, Grimaldi Group Managing Director Emanuele Grimaldi was appointed an honorary member of Malta’s National Order of Merit. The investiture ceremony took place in the Grand Council Chamber at the President’s Palace in Valletta.
The National Order of Merit pays tribute to individuals who distinguish themselves in different fields of endeavour. Emanuele Grimaldi, at the helm of the Grimaldi Group and, since 2022, also serving as Chairman of the International Chamber of Shipping, has worked tirelessly and with great dedication to develop maritime transport to and from Malta, in support of the country’s economy.
His engagement with Malta’s shipping sector is further reflected in his role as a founder of the Malta International Shipowners’ Association (MISA), of which he has served as Vice-President since its establishment. The importance of this contribution is underscored by the prominence of the Maltese shipping register, which today ranks as the largest in Europe by number of vessels.
