MVKFP Port Code Lookup
Total 1 ports of MVKFP
Koodoo Fisheries Port is the seaport of Koodoo fisheries, in the city of Koodoo fisheriesin Maldives. Overseas routes include India and Pakistan, Port code is MVKFP.
Port Overview
Koodoo Fisheries, identified by UN/LOCODE MVKFP, is recorded in the supplied port dataset as a fisheries-oriented maritime location in the Maldives rather than a confirmed mainline container gateway. Its logistics role is therefore best assessed as a local or regional maritime handling point supporting fisheries activity, island supply movements and limited project or general-cargo requirements, subject to confirmation with the receiving party and local operator. The dataset lists zero recorded FCL, LCL and automobile services, so our service team does not treat MVKFP as a standard container terminal without written operational confirmation. The supplied coordinates are 73°26′00″W, 0°44′00″N; because this position is inconsistent with the stated Maldives location, coordinate use for routing, geocoding or pre-carriage planning must be validated before booking.

Key Highlights
- MVKFP should be handled as a fisheries-related or local maritime facility unless the consignee confirms commercial cargo and vessel-handling capability.
- The source record contains no listed FCL, LCL or automobile service volume; container acceptance, equipment availability and empty-container arrangements require pre-checking.
- Island geography can make feeder, barge, domestic-vessel or transshipment coordination more important than a conventional truck-to-terminal move.
- Port nomination, cargo handover point and final-mile responsibility should be stated separately in the booking and transport documents.
- The supplied coordinates require validation before any nautical, inland-routing or geofence-based planning is performed.
Facilities & Services
Publicly supplied data does not establish a dedicated container terminal, rail connection, fixed storage capacity or named stevedoring operator for MVKFP. Our service team therefore separates confirmed data from services that must be arranged case by case.
Routes & Transit Times
- International cargo may require a mainline or regional gateway in the Indian Ocean followed by feeder, domestic-vessel or other local maritime connection to the Maldives; the final routing depends on carrier acceptance and the actual discharge point.
- For cargo originating in South Asia, the Gulf or Southeast Asia, our service team normally compares gateway transshipment options rather than assuming a direct MVKFP sailing.
- Transit time is affected by vessel availability, transshipment connection, monsoon conditions, port working windows, customs release and the onward island leg. No fixed sailing frequency or transit promise should be made without a carrier quotation.
- Before booking, confirm whether the bill of lading port is MVKFP, another Maldivian gateway or a named place for final delivery. A port code and a delivery location are not automatically interchangeable.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
MVKFP’s practical hinterland should be understood as the local island and nearby maritime supply network associated with fisheries activity, rather than a large mainland industrial catchment. The exact service area depends on domestic-vessel availability and the consignee’s ability to receive cargo.
- Fisheries-related cargo: fishing gear, nets, ropes, spare parts, maintenance materials, insulated packaging and vessel provisions.
- Cold-chain cargo: frozen seafood, chilled supplies or temperature-sensitive inputs, subject to confirmed reefer power, plug-in and delivery arrangements.
- Island essentials: packaged food, construction materials, fuel-related supplies where legally permitted, and general provisions for local consumption.
- Special cargo: oversized machinery, generators or marine equipment requiring a lifting survey and a confirmed landing point.
Operations & Compliance
- Booking and cut-off: MVKFP-specific closing time, receiving window and documentation cut-off must be obtained from the actual operator or appointed agent. Do not apply the cut-off of a different Maldivian gateway.
- Dangerous goods: Submit the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, quantity, package details and safety documents before acceptance. Batteries, fuel, chemicals and refrigerants require particular scrutiny.
- Customs and inspection: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, permits and cargo-specific approvals should be aligned before dispatch. Customs release and any inspection may depend on the declared consignee, commodity and final island destination.
- Delivery and handling: Verify vehicle access, lifting capacity, road or landing restrictions, weather exposure and consignee receiving capability. For reefer or fragile cargo, define power, monitoring and contingency responsibility in writing.
Shipping Tips
- Send our service team the cargo description, dimensions, gross weight, packing method, temperature requirement, DG status, origin and final island address before requesting a rate.
- Ask the consignee to confirm the exact receiving point, local agent, unloading method, storage availability and whether MVKFP is the intended port of discharge or only a local delivery reference.
- For container cargo, obtain written confirmation of container acceptance, equipment type, reefer power, empty return location, transshipment handling and demurrage or detention rules.
- For urgent or oversized cargo, compare direct charter, regional gateway plus domestic connection, and breakbulk alternatives. The best option depends on cargo compatibility and confirmed local handling resources.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can MVKFP be booked as a normal FCL container port?
Not automatically. The supplied record shows FCL and LCL indicators of zero. Our service team must obtain carrier or local-agent confirmation of container acceptance, handling equipment and the actual discharge arrangement before booking.
Is MVKFP suitable for refrigerated seafood?
It may be considered only after confirming reefer power, monitoring, unloading capability, customs release and onward delivery. If those conditions are unavailable, our team will evaluate a gateway and controlled domestic transfer instead.
What documents are normally needed for a commercial shipment?
At minimum, prepare a commercial invoice, packing list and transport document, with permits, origin evidence, insurance details and dangerous-goods documents where applicable. Exact requirements depend on commodity, consignee and Maldivian regulatory review.
How should the coordinates be used?
The coordinates in the source record are retained as supplied, but they do not appear consistent with the stated Maldives location. They should not be used for navigation or inland planning until the shipper, consignee or local agent validates them.
Can our team quote a fixed transit time to MVKFP?
We can provide a route-specific estimate after confirming the origin, gateway, vessel connection, cargo type and final island delivery point. Fixed transit times should not be promised before those operational details are verified.
