Malta: ports, pipelines and refineries
The ports, terminals and pipelines each refinery’s operator or a register names as connected to it. These are connections, not flows: nothing here says how much oil moved, or that any did.
Which ports and pipelines serve Malta's refineries
Malta has no crude oil refinery (Eurostat, nrg_cb_oilm (Supply and transformation of oil and petroleum products - monthly data)). None of the ports or pipelines we hold a citation for is in Malta.
“Eurostat reports Maltese crude-oil refinery intake as exactly 0.0 thousand tonnes in every one of the 186 monthly observations from 2009-01 to 2026-06. NO OPENED SOURCE STATES IN WORDS that Malta has no crude refinery; this zero rests on the reported statistical series, not on a sentence.” (Eurostat, nrg_cb_oilm (Supply and transformation of oil and petroleum products - monthly data))
WEAKEST ROW IN THIS FILE, and deliberately labelled so. Unlike CY, LV and LU there is no narrative statement behind it. Supporting negative evidence only: the USGS Minerals Yearbook 2019 Malta chapter's facilities table lists only limestone quarries and salt pans and the word 'refinery' does not appear in the chapter; Malta's final updated NECP 2021-2030 (381 pp) mentions 'refinery/refining/crude oil' only in connection with the Directive 2009/119/EC oil-stocks obligation; and the EEA Industrial Emissions Portal returns no IED Annex I 1.2 installation for Malta. A Maltese regulator or ministry statement would upgrade this row and should be sought.

We have not established whether the licence permits redistribution. An unestablished licence is treated as a no, not as a yes.
- Infrastructure, not flows. Each line is a cited connection (CONNECTED_TO): the source says the berth or pipeline exists and serves the refinery. It does not say that any crude or product moved through it, in which direction, or how much.
Each line is a CONNECTED_TO record: the refinery’s operator, a port authority or a register names the port, terminal or pipeline as serving the refinery. It is infrastructure, never a flow (a flow would be RECEIVED_FROM, which needs a record of oil moving; none is drawn here). Columns run ports and terminals, pipelines, refineries; a port’s line passes between the pipelines because no source here links a port to a pipeline. Countries of ports and pipelines come from the geography rows that draw them on the map; the tag after a name lists them when they are not the page’s own country.

- Countries of ports and pipelines come only from the geography rows that draw them on the map; an asset with no geography row has no cited country, and whether it crosses a border is unknown.
- Reference rows that may describe the same real pipeline under different names are kept apart, each with its own citation. We do not merge them.
- Refinery counts are the refineries on our cited reference list, every status included.
