Melita Marine Group Breaks Ground in South of France, Boosting Mediterranean Technical Service Network

Navigating the picturesque blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea just got more exhilarating, thanks to the ambitious expansion of the Melita Marine Group. Bursting onto the scene with the launch of ‘Melita Shipyard Services France’, the group strengthens its Mediterranean presence, casting its technical service coverage all the way from the glittering Monaco to the historic port city of Marseille. Set to unfurl officially in January 2026, the prestigious base will be located crisply between Biot and Antibes. Not just limited by geography, the new operation will be supported by mobile technical teams offering an impressive array of onboard competencies. The group’s aim is to deliver a smooth technical and refit support network within the central and western Mediterranean, effecting an easeful cruising experience for all yacht enthusiasts. A significant milestone for Melita Marine Group, this expansion heralds their inaugural permanent service in South France. The fresh operation augments their existing enterprise—a 100-meter-capacity, fully equipped shipyard situated in Malta, renowned in the industry for its excellence. The Group’s founder, Pierre Balzan, sees the expansion as a bridge connecting two key European yachting hubs— offering their high-quality services across the Côte d’Azur seamlessly. He states confidently that enlarging the outfit’s reach allows the group to serve their clients more effectively, across diverse locales and aboard their yachts. A further feather in their cap, the group is burgeoning its role as an MTU Partner Distributor, notching up its technical and spare-parts workshops bandwidth in Malta, Greece, and Cyprus. A crucial move keeping in line with their ambitious vision for an expansive service area. The announcement was made amid an official gathering at the globally recognised Monaco Yacht Show 2025, orchestrated jointly with AG Advisory. The latter used the platform to celebrate its establishment as a licensed advisor provider in Malta, unveiling its extensive service portfolio spanning across financial, corporate, and compliance sectors. Echoing the shared ethos of expansion, both companies have indicated robust growth plans for 2026. While Melita Marine Group intends to stretch its technical coverage across the Mediterranean, AG Advisory sets its eyes on client-centric expansion, steaming ahead from its freshly minted base.
