Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) has completed 67 percent of the work on the quay project at the Maldives Ports Limited (MPL) site in K. Thilafushi.
The project involves designing and building a 100-metre quay wall and laying paving at the MPL site. MTCC is the contractor for the project.
In its latest update, MTCC said the construction of the new quay wall has been completed. The company also said all road works in the area next to the new quay have now been finished.
The project is part of the government’s efforts to strengthen and expand the services of the country’s commercial ports, and is essential to increasing the space available in Thilafushi’s port area.
Once completed, the project will ease the pressure on Malé Commercial Harbour. It will also allow cargo to be imported to Thilafushi, and loading and unloading to be carried out more safely and quickly than at present.
