The infrastructure ministry has promised a quick fix after stormy weather damaged the jetty of Fulidhoo in the central Vaavu atoll, restricting access to the small island.
“There is a contract to build a new jetty. We are discussing with the contractor to repair the damage before that. I will have a proposal by them within an hour,” state minister Akram Kamalludeen told the Maldives Independent on Tuesday.
The island community feared they would be left without means of transport as ferry operators warned of suspension.
Parts of the wooden pier fell off after strong winds on Monday and metal beams were dangerously jutting out, Fulidhoo council president Sana Abdul Wafir told the Maldives independent.
