In 2004, to further develop the Container Terminal, Freeport Corporation awarded Malta Feeport Terminals Limited (a subsidiary of CMA-CGM) a 30 year concession to operate the container terminals , the distripark facilities and the Freeport Centre office complex. The concession provides that the container terminal must be operated as a common-user facility allowing different clients to avail themselves of the Port's services.

The terminals' infrastructure now comprises a total operational quay length of two kilometres, a dredged water depth along all mainline berths of 15.5 metres and a total area of 615,000 square meters for container storage. It is presently served by twenty quayside cranes, namely fourteen super post-Panamax quay cranes four of which have an outreach of 65.5 metres, a lifting height under spreader above rail of 39 metres and a lifting capacity of 65 tonnes, five post-Panamax quayside cranes and one Panamax quayside crane together with all supporting yard equipment.
