A New Milestone for Maldives Ports Limited
Operations Begin at the Thilafushi Empty Container Depot
Thilafushi, 22 September 2025 - Maldives Ports Limited (MPL) has officially commenced operations at the Empty Container Depot in Thilafushi, marking another major step in expanding port infrastructure and capacity. The new facility has a total storage capacity of 2,400 TEUs, designed to streamline container management and logistics efficiency.
This strategic development will alleviate space constraints at both Malé Commercial Harbour and Hulhumalé International Terminal, ensuring smoother cargo handling and improved turnaround times across MPL’s operations.
The depot features a 60-meter quay wall, with land leveling works completed by Maldives Transport and Contracting Company Plc (MTCC). Following this, dedicated MPL teams worked extensively to prepare and operationalize the site, bringing the facility up to full operational standards.
This achievement reinforces MPL’s commitment to enhancing national port infrastructure and optimizing services to support the growing demands of the Maldives’ maritime and trade sectors.
