19 May 2025, 05:00

Maldives Ports Limited (MPL) has signed an MoU with the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade to begin work on the Kulhudhuffushi Port Extension Project. The agreement marks a major step toward strengthening port capacity in the northern region and improving the country’s overall logistics network.

The project is expected to position Kulhudhuffushi as a key logistics hub for the northern atolls, helping create a smoother, faster and more reliable supply chain from north to south. MPL says the extension will support growing import and shipping activity in the region while reducing pressure on central ports.

Officials noted that boosting northern port infrastructure is an important part of the government’s broader plan to enhance economic activity, improve connectivity between islands and ensure more balanced national development.

Further details on project timelines and technical components are expected to be announced once planning and assessments move into the next stage.
