The Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) has stated that the current phase of the B. Eydhafushi harbor development project involves the installation of concrete blocks needed for the harbor wall construction. So far, 35 percent of the harbor development project has been completed. The harbor, which was developed 30 years ago through the hard work of Eydhafushi residents, had become full, leading to various challenges in its usage. Eydhafushi harbor, serving as the commercial hub of the atoll, is frequented by numerous vessels from other islands in the atoll. The lack of a designated area for loading and unloading commercial goods was due to the limited space in the harbor. However, upon completion of the ongoing harbor project, it will bring significant convenience to both the island’s residents and the people of B. Atoll.
The harbor development on the western side of the island includes the construction of a 303-meter quay wall, a 371-meter rock revetment, an 18-meter concrete bridge, a 119-meter breakwater, a 63-meter harbor entrance channel, reclamation of a 5,490 square meter area, installation of a water ramp, pavement adjacent to the water, harbor lights, and channel lights. The B. Eydhafushi harbor project is estimated to cost approximately 64.67 million Rufiyaa.
