Over the course of the last five years, seven vessels have run aground in the Maldivian Atolls, with none of them having a professional pilot on board at the time of grounding. These incidents resulted in significant damage to the surrounding reefs, leading to the loss of two vessels after they sank. The Maldivian authorities have imposed substantial fines on the owners of these vessels as a consequence of their actions.

If you are seeking expert and seasoned nautical assistance for various types of ocean going vessels during your journey to the Atolls in Maldives, Atoll Pilotage is the ideal choice for you.

Inter Atoll Communication

Familiarity with communication and inter-Atoll reporting procedures.

The Maldives is home to over 19 Atolls and more than 20,000 small inland vessels, including high-speed ferries, fishing vessels, landing crafts, and bunker barges. Many of these vessels do not comply with collision regulations and lack proper communication standards. With dense traffic and frequent inclement weather, these sea areas are among the most hazardous in the world. Additionally, reclamation projects in the lagoons and islands are on the rise. Atoll pilotage provides professional support and nautical assistance to masters who are unfamiliar with navigating in the Atolls.

We offer pilotage assistance in its broadest sense during vessel navigation in Maldivian waters. Engaging an Atoll Pilot can prevent fatigue and provide added value to the bridge management team through their local expertise. Utilizing state-of-the-art equipment, the pilot can guide the vessel on the most efficient route, saving fuel and time to the next port of call.
