The Malta Maritime Forum (MMF) is a non-governmental organisation established in October 2015 with a vision to champion all matters related to the Maltese Maritime Industry and the Blue Economy and to serve as a common platform for those Malta-based entities that are involved in the maritime, logistical and transport industry in Malta.

This platform is primarily geared to facilitate communication between the various sectors that form this industry as well as with Government to assist and promote the development of this industry in general.  The Forum is a member of the European Network of Maritime Clusters as well as of the European Shortsea Network.
