HDC Allocates Lagoons for Temporary Mooring of Vessels to be Relocated from Hulhumale Phase 3

The Housing Development Corporation (HDC) has allocated lagoons for the temporary mooring of vessels being relocated from the Hulhumalé Phase 3 land reclamation area.

HDC announced on 30 October that vessels in the Phase 3 reclamation zone must be removed by 00:00 hrs on 6 November 2025 to allow reclamation works to resume. To address the lack of relocation guidance, HDC has now designated specific lagoons for safaris, dhoani, and other vessels. Safaris can be moored in the lagoons of Kudagiri, Gulhifalhu, and  Thilafushi in Kaafu Atoll, while dhoani and other vessels may use Gulhifalhu and Thilafushi inner lagoons.
