Lion Logistics

What we do

Every mode, every atoll, one team to clear it all.

Air, sea and project cargo — booked, cleared through Maldivian customs, and delivered to your door. Pick the service you need, or let us design the route around your deadline and budget.
Air freight

Air freight & cargo clearance

When it has to be there yesterday. We book air cargo into Velana International, then clear it fast — the same perishables, pharma and high-value parts that can’t wait on a vessel.
Ocean freight

Ocean & sea freight

The workhorse of island supply. Full-container (FCL) and shared (LCL) ocean freight, consolidated at origin, cleared at Malé port, and carried onward by landing craft and dhoni to wherever it’s needed.
Project cargo

Project cargo clearance

Resort builds, generators, vehicles, prefab structures — the heavy, oversized and awkward. We manage permits, special handling, barging and island offload so project cargo lands ready to use.
Warehousing

Warehousing & distribution

A staging point in Malé so your stock is ready when you are. Bonded and dry storage, pick-and-pack, and scheduled distribution out to the resorts and islands on your timetable, not the boat’s.
Also handled

Support services that round out the route

Customs brokerage

Licensed brokers handling tariffs, duty exemptions, restricted-goods permits and documentation — on air and sea cargo alike.

Door-to-door & inter-island

Final-mile delivery by road and sea — supplier dock to resort jetty, with handling and offload arranged at both ends.

Cargo insurance

Optional all-risk marine and air cargo cover, arranged with your booking so high-value shipments travel protected.

Questions

Freight to the Maldives, answered

Most air shipments clear within 24–48 hours of landing at Velana International, provided documents are in order. We prepare the paperwork ahead of arrival so clearance starts the moment your cargo touches down.

Yes — project cargo is a core specialism. We move generators, vehicles, prefab units and resort fit-outs, managing permits, heavy-lift handling, barging and island offload from origin all the way to the build site.

All 20 atolls. Beyond Malé and Hulhumalé we coordinate landing craft and dhoni transfers to resorts and inhabited islands nationwide. Tell us the island and we’ll arrange the final leg.

Typically a commercial invoice, packing list and the supplier’s details. For restricted goods we’ll tell you which permits apply. Send what you have and we’ll guide you through the rest — there’s no perfect-paperwork barrier to getting a quote.

Air wins on speed and for perishables or urgent parts; sea wins on cost and volume. Give us your deadline, budget and cargo type and we’ll recommend the mode — or split the shipment — rather than pushing whatever’s easiest for us.

Usually the same day. Send your shipment details via the contact form or WhatsApp and we’ll come back with a clear, all-in price — freight, clearance and delivery in one figure.
