MACL has finished reclaiming 25 hectares of land in Th. Veymandoo in 23 days.

In a post on X, President Dr Mohamed Muizzu stated that the work, which began on March 12, was finalized last Saturday.

MACL utilized one of the globe's largest trailing suction hopper dredgers, the FILIPPO BRUNELLESCHI, for the endeavor.

During a visit to Veymandoo in September of the previous year, President Muizzu highlighted that increasing the island's land area is crucial for its progress and reaffirmed that land reclamation in Veymandoo was part of his presidential campaign promises.

"According to the agreement finalized tonight, 25 hectares of land will be restored for the island." "God willing, the project will start shortly and will continue uninterrupted," the President informed the people of Veymandoo on September 24, 2025.
