Fulfilling a key infrastructure commitment by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu, the Maldives has received its first bulk shipment of rocks required for nationwide Public Sector Investment Program (PSIP) projects undertaken by the Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC).
The inaugural shipment, which arrived on October 10, comprises 56,450 tons of rocks and marks the beginning of a large-scale effort to import 25 million tons of rock before the end of 2025. This monumental logistics initiative is essential to accelerating harbor, shore protection, and reclamation projects across the country — many of which are critical to safeguarding island communities and improving accessibility.
According to officials, the newly arrived shipment will first be allocated to the B. Maalhos Harbor Development Project, one of the major infrastructure developments under MTCC’s portfolio. The delivery underscores the government’s strategic focus on ensuring steady material supply chains to avoid project delays and fast-track progress on President Muizzu’s infrastructure agenda.
Established in 1980, MTCC has been the backbone of the Maldives’ infrastructure development for over 44 years, executing hundreds of harbors, causeways, and coastal protection works across the archipelago. The company continues to play a vital role in supporting the administration’s ambitious PSIP targets, which aim to modernize essential facilities in every inhabited island.
With subsequent shipments expected in the coming months, the government’s initiative is poised to drive visible progress in regional connectivity, economic growth, and community well-being — marking a milestone moment in the nation’s infrastructure journey under President Muizzu’s leadership.
