Concrete works for three 15-meter finger jetties under the Design and Build of Jetties in Malé North Harbour project have been completed, the project contractor, Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC), confirmed.
MTCC announced that upcoming activities will focus on installing timber-plank decking, mounting mooring bollards, and setting up harbour navigation and area lighting.

Physical construction on the project began in early October near the capital’s northern waterfront, where speedboats routinely dock. Valued at approximately MVR 18.98 million, the initiative was commissioned to address severe vessel congestion, streamline passenger traffic, and eliminate hazardous boarding conditions in one of the country’s busiest marine transit hubs.
The broader project scope encompasses the construction of six finger jetties in total: three measuring 25 meters in length by 6 meters in width, alongside three measuring 15 meters long by 6 meters wide.
Once fully operational, the finger jetties will allow multiple passenger launches and vessels to dock simultaneously at dedicated berthing spaces. This added berthing capacity is expected to shorten turnaround times, curb vessel queueing, and significantly enhance traveller safety by removing the need for commuters to climb across multiple moored boats to reach the quayside.
Concrete works for the 3 15-meter jetties are now complete for the Design and Build of Jetties in Malé North Harbour (Finger Jetty) Project. Upcoming works now include the Installation of Timber planks-Deck, installation of mooring bollards and lights. #MTCCProjects #TeamMTCC #RayyithungeKunfuni #GaumuBinaakurumugaaMTCC— MTCC Plc (@MTCCPlc) November 1, 2026
