From all the buoys, one is located in Marsalforn, four in Valleta, four in Marsaxlokk, one in Gozo island and other in Comino island. The remaining nine will be stored as replacement buoys. Transport Malta is the public entity in charge of developing the maritime activities in Malta.

These marine aids to navigation are manufactured with a galvanized steel structure and a rotomoulded polyethylene hull filled of expanded polystyrene foam. All the buoys have been supplied with its respective M650 and M860 self-contained lanterns, chains and sinkers.
