Liner services operate on fixed schedules along established trade routes, calling at specific ports regularly. These services are essential for goods’ smooth and consistent movement across key international corridors. And require larger vessels.
On the other hand, feeder services offer greater flexibility, linking major shipping hubs with smaller ports. They operate based on customer requirements, making them ideal for reaching destinations outside the scope of mainline services.
Maldives State Shipping (MSS) plays a pivotal role as the national shipping line. The majority of sea freight to the Maldives arrives as transhipment cargo via the Port of Colombo. MSS handles 60–65% of the volume and is trusted by global carriers like Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd.

MSS operates 2–3 vessels regularly on the Colombo – Malé route to ensure steady service. In 2024, the company expanded its feeder network to Southeast Asia, with voyages linking Malaysia, Indonesia, and Colombo opening new trade opportunities for Maldivian businesses.
