According to the announcement posted on MPL’s social media today, these published fees exclude Goods and Services Tax (GST). The tariff applies directly to two-way cargo logistics operations connecting the main commercial port in the capital with the industrial cargo terminal in Thilafushi.

Shipping agents, importers, and logistics operators moving freight along this route must account for the updated per-container charges starting from the effective date.
