MNDF issued a statement clarifying the capabilities of the Uthuru Thilafalhu (UTF) harbour and dockyard project, rejecting speculation that it could host large foreign military vessels. MNDF said the harbour will have a 300-metre docking area, a slipway and repair facilities for boats under 500 gross tonnes, and is developed exclusively for MNDF Coastguard ships, with funding from the Indian government.

The UTF harbour will offer a 300-metre docking area, a significant upgrade from the current 270-metre space in Hulhumalé.
