Aalaa boat, R.Maduvvari - 1-jun-2023

‘Aalaa Boat’ sent out a distress call to the Maldives National Defense Force (MNDF) at around 05:22 am Thursday, after it began taking in water.

The boat was 2.5 nautical miles off Eydhafushi at the time.

All 15 people were rescued by the coastguard. They included expatriates and residents from Raa Atoll. Although no crew members and the passengers sustained injuries – none of the goods the boat was carrying at the time could be salvaged.


Goods worth MVR 286,000 or USD 18,632 sank alongside the boat. The total loss was greater than anticipated.

Due to the local residents the boat sank due to overload of goods and the freeboard of the vessel is significantly lower than other cargo boats. And the weather is very bad during this months of the year in this region. Due to all these factors lead to the boat taking in water and and the lower half of the boat began to sink. The rescue team did their best, but the boat ended up sinking into the depths of the ocean with goods worth over 100,000.
