The Maldives Industrial Fisheries Company (MIFCO) has stated that the ice plant being established in Dh. Meedhoo is expected to be completed by July 26.

Sharing the progress of the ice plant with "Keyolha", MIFCO's Manager Operations Hamid Nazim said that some equipment required for the project has been ordered and is expected to arrive in the Maldives tomorrow. Nazim also said that they are currently working to see if the ice plant can be completed by the 26th of next month.

Looking at the work of the ice plant project, all civil works have been completed and the generator has also been installed.

The construction of the Meedhoo ice plant was awarded to MIFCO in September last year, to be completed within 8 months of starting practical work. The ice plant, which will produce 30 tonnes of ice per day and store 50 tonnes of ice, is an 8 million Rufiyaa project carried out under the government's Public Sector Investment Program (PSIP).

MIFCO is also working on establishing ice plants in Sh. Funadhoo and Dh. Bandidhoo. MIFCO stated that the civil works of these two ice plants are currently underway.
