Since 1899, we have been one of Malta’s leading shipping agents. Four generations on, we now cover all maritime transport needs in the Maltese market. W.J. Parnis England was established by Major William John Parnis England in 1899.
We have since developed into one of the island’s leading shipping agents, ship agencies, and maritime services providers, Bimco members since 1936 (one of the oldest Bimco members worldwide) and well-respected in the international shipping community.
Since our foundation, we have diversified into other business activities, including manufacturing and trading—making us one of the largest family-run and owner commercial enterprises in Malta. We’ve represented many leading international shipping lines throughout our history, always maintaining our position as trusted shipping agents.
Our head office has been located in the heart of Valletta since our establishment, and we’ve opened branch offices in other localities and developed international partnerships worldwide.
With over a century’s experience, we have built up a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the maritime industry, reaffirming our status as Malta’s premier shipping agents.
