Vessels wanting to weigh fish at Kooddoo can now get tokens from 5 locations: MIFCO

The Maldives Industrial Fisheries Company (MIFCO), which operates the Kooddoo Fisheries Complex (KFC), has stated that vessels wishing to weigh fish there can now obtain queue numbers from five locations.

MIFCO stated that during this period of highly improved fishing, with many vessels having to queue to weigh fish, they started issuing queue numbers yesterday from the Gemanafushi and Faresmaathodaa ice plants to make it easier for vessels to get queue numbers.

Previously, queue numbers for weighing fish at Kooddoo were normally issued only from Kooddoo. However, with fishing improving for the Northeast Monsoon (Iruvai) and the commencement of prompt payments within 48 hours, the number of vessels going out fishing has increased. Due to the lengthening of the queue of vessels waiting to weigh fish at Kooddoo, queue numbers began being issued from the ice plants in GDh. Gadhdhoo and GDh. Thinadhoo in early February this year.

With the arrangement made yesterday to obtain queue numbers from the Gemanafushi and Faresmaathodaa ice plants, the number of centers issuing queue numbers for weighing fish at Kooddoo has now reached five.
