Reclamation works at Rasmale’ Site A have reached a key milestone, with 23 hectares reclaimed out of the planned 137.5 hectares, marking overall progress of 17%.

The reclamation is being carried out using Cristóbal Colón, one of the world’s two largest Trailer Suction Hopper Dredgers. With a capacity of 46,000 cubic metres, the vessel is operated by international dredging company Jan De Nul, enabling large-scale and efficient reclamation works at the site.

Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL) commenced reclamation activities at Rasmale’ Site A on 1 December 2025. The project is a major component of the broader Rasmale’ development initiative, aimed at expanding land availability to support future infrastructure and development needs.

Work at the site is continuing as planned, with further progress expected in the coming months.
