Our services are ordered the way the business is. General cargo transshipment through Velana International Airport comes first; inbound FCL and LCL cargo to the Maldives comes second; local clearance, storage and delivery sit behind both.
Air-to-Air and Sea-to-Air general cargo transshipment through Velana International Airport, connecting major Asian origins with Europe, the USA, the Middle East and other international destinations.
AIR → MLE → AIR
General cargo arriving at MLE by air, coordinated through transit handling and connected to an onward international flight to Europe, the USA or the Middle East.
SEA → MLE → AIR
An alternative to full air freight: cargo arrives by sea at Malé, is transferred to Velana International Airport and connects to onward international air services.
ARRIVAL → CONNECTION → DEPARTURE
The nine-step transit process that carries general cargo from pre-arrival planning through handling, documentation, security and acceptance to confirmed onward departure.
ONE POINT OF CONTROL
Our MLE Cargo Control Desk: centralized coordination of flights, ground handling, ULDs, documentation and airline requirements for cargo moving through Velana International Airport.
Full and part container loads into Malé for importers, resorts, contractors and retailers, with clearance and island delivery handled by the same team.
ORIGIN → MALÉ → SITE
Full container loads into Malé Commercial Harbour, including reefer, flat rack and open top, with clearance and island delivery handled by the same team that booked the space.
SUPPLIERS → CONSOL → MALÉ
Weekly groupage boxes into Malé plus buyer consolidation at origin, so ten supplier deliveries arrive as one clean shipment under one set of documents.
The local capability that both of the above depend on: licensed Maldives brokerage, storage in Greater Malé and distribution to every atoll.
Declarations that clear first time
Licensed brokerage for Maldives Customs covering HS classification, duty optimisation, permits and release, prepared before the vessel berths or the flight lands.
Storage, staging and the last leg
Bonded and general storage in Greater Malé, plus trucking, lighterage and landing-craft distribution to resorts and islands across all 20 atolls.
