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.
