Paving the Way for Sustainable Maritime Transport in the Maldives

Maldives is taking significant strides towards a sustainable future by decarbonizing its domestic maritime transport sector. This collaborative effort, led by the The World Bank, ABL Group and partners including Maldives Ports Limited, HHXblue and Arcsilea , this initiative aims to explore viable decarbonization options for the sector. By transitioning to cleaner technologies and sustainable practices, the Maldives seeks to balance economic growth with ecological responsibility. 

The project focuses on assessing the current state of the maritime sector, creating a comprehensive decarbonization roadmap, and facilitating the transition to sustainable energy sources and infrastructure. 

A one-day workshop brought together government and private stakeholders to discuss the challenges and ambitions of this transformation. Presentations by ABL outlined the findings of the sector assessment, while discussions helped shape a shared vision for a sustainable maritime future.  

This initiative highlights the Maldives' commitment to innovation and climate leadership, setting an example for small island nations globally.
