Dredging activities, led by Boskalis of the Netherlands, have already commenced on a 192-hectare land project designed to support the port’s relocation and provide housing for the Male’ populace. 

The government’s plan places a priority on the construction of the transshipment port in the Greater Male Area. Minister of Economic Development and Trade, Mohamed Saeed, has suggested that further details regarding the project’s implementation will be announced in due course.
