The comprehensive scope of the Adh. Dhigurah Harbour Development project includes various crucial elements. Notable aspects of the project involve dredging operations covering an area of 64,416 cubic meters, as well as channel dredging operations spanning 6,779 cubic meters. The construction phase features the establishment of a 294-meter quay wall, with the project being awarded to MTCC at a value of MVR 50.02 million.
