Cover Story: Redefining Maldivian Transportation with RTL

REDEFINING MALDIVIAN TRANSPORTATION WITH RTL

BY AS55 MTCC is at the forefront of redefining domestic sea transportation in the Maldives and boat building veteran Al Shaali Marine Maldives becomes their vessel to speed into this transformative journey. RTL is the vision to achieve a connected nation.

The Maldivian archipelago is in the Indian ocean, stretching across the equator around 90,000 km2 of which only 298 km2 is dry land. There are 1,192 scattered coral islands that are grouped into 26 atolls, making internal travel via sea a necessity rather than a want or waived off purely as a matter of leisure. While speedboats and traditional dhoni style ferries do exist that cater to this requirement, many of these vessels are owned and operated by resorts and guest houses with the objective of ferrying guests that they host. However, with the changing dynamics in the tourism industry such as budget friendly travel, modernization, and fiscal growth of the nation via channelized and improved academic system in the last few decades, this prerequisite of a proper transportation system had multiplied inherently.

18

Floating Asia | Summer 2023

With a much-required improvisation to the then sea transportation infrastructure, MTCC made their presence felt in the early to mid-2000s by commencing public ferry services to Villingilli, Thilafushi, Hulhumale’ and Gulhifalhu. Further successful government projects saw MTCC signing a 50-year service agreement with the government, launching Raajje Transport Link (RTL) with the aim of linking the 7 geographic provinces of Maldives through Rashu Link (Atoll Ferries).

Rashu Link provided intra and inter atoll ferry service in all 7 zones: Zone 1 (Haa Alifu, Haa Dhaalu & Shaviyani Atoll), Zone 2 (Noonu, Raa & Baa Atoll), Zone 3 (Kaafu, Alifu, Alifu Dhaalu & Vaavu Atoll), Zone 4 (Meemu, Faafu & Dhaalu Atoll), Zone 5 (Thaa & Laamu Atoll), Zone 6 (Gaafu Alifu & Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll) and Zone 7 (Addu City & Fuvahmulah City).

Cover Story: Redefining Maldivian Transportation with RTL

Routes are designed to ensure connectivity across all islands, with multiple stopovers and ferry trips to and from our ferry terminals and stops every day throughout the year.

RTL project was huge and its success, crucial for both the government and MTCC. Hence, to eliminate even an iota of risk, they turned to the ultimate boat builders in the Maldives, Al Shaali Marine Maldives, with a massive 2 year investment of MVR 537 million to source 65 speedboats required for the implementation of phase two and phase three of RTL ferry service.

Al Shaali Marine Maldives Pvt Ltd as the name suggests inherited the proud boat building tradition from the legendary Arabian seafarer, a name that has earned a proud place in world maritime history. Established as a joint venture between Al Shaali Marine Dubai and Coastline Investments Pvt Ltd in the year 2006, branching out from the pioneer of fiberglass boats and yacht manufacturer of the middle east ensured the fostering of a creative and productive environment for Al Shaali Marine Maldives to build and prosper in the Maldivian market as well as thrive as an exporter of high-end vessels.

Al Shaali Marine’s craftsmanship is reflective in the quality vessels they produce, and their dedication is mirrored in the after-sale service offered.

Al Shaali Marine Maldives’s biggest strength lies in customer satisfaction through timely deliveries, and this was no exception. Within the first quarter of 2023, Al Shaali Marine Maldives delivered the first of the 65 high speed boats ordered that was put into utilization in Gaafu Alifu and Gaafu Dhaalu atoll ferry services under the RTL project.

AS55 speed boat is certainly a dream come true for the domestic travelers. Not only does this fiber glass vessel present itself with a sleek exterior, but this public transporter exudes refinement in the ac interior as well. The 55-footer is large and robust donning spaciously aligned cushioned seatings which has a capacity of carrying 48 pax comfortably, with additional 4 seats for the captain and crew. Further, comfort extends beyond the seats as the vessel includes a floor level toilet enabling easy access to the passenger. This factor is highly valued by the aged, sick and specially-abled passengers who are otherwise unable to utilize the available options of relieving themselves. The boat also includes a patient bed and designated area for wheel chairs promoting inclusivity and safety in travel without the requirement of chartering a sea ambulance for non-emergency yet health flagged transportation.

Convenience is not limited to physical factors only, but concerns time as well. The AS55 holds a fuel capacity of 2000 liters and has a strong Yanmar 460 hp dual engine with AJ340 Alamarine Jet Drive that ensures speed and time efficient traveling which is a big win. Indeed, convenience and performance along with comfort is most definitely top notch in the vessel produced by Al Shaali Marine Maldives that all passengers that choose to travel to their desired destination on AS55 will cherish the ride.

Floating Asia | Summer 2023

MTCC’s transport services has become part of everyday life for Maldivians. It has a comprehensive range of travel options and a nationwide transport network that covers almost 85% of the Maldivian population. MTCC has focused on key areas where transport is essential, including our public services in Greater Male’ Area and other regional cities such as Addu City & Fuvamulah City and densely populated larger islands such as L. Gan/Fonadhoo & L. Isdhoo/Kalaidhoo. Furthermore, their comprehensive transport network ferries provide connectivity for the citizens to travel around each island in every zone from north to south and connects a large part of the dispersed islands in the country.This helps the citizens who live and work in the island economies to plan and organize their travel and carriage of goods. Raajje Transport Link (RTL) will help revolutionize the public transport system in the Maldives.

It would provide good speed, convenience, comfort and reliability to the traveling passengers with excellent customer service.

Exclusive Interview: Chairman & Abeer - Gulf Craft

Chairman, as a marine industry pioneer with over 20 years of successful operation in the Maldives market; we will be very glad to know your feedback on Maldives Marine Expo 2023, flagship event of the National Boating Association of Maldives (NBAM)?

We are proud to say that Gulf Craft provides almost 80% of the Maldives’ water transportation services which includes public transport, coast guard, emergency & ambulance services, resorts, and leisure boats. With a strong and established presence in the country, Gulf Craft developed a new production facility dedicated to the manufacturing of vessels for use in the Indian Ocean.

We are very happy to see the boat show (Maldives Marine Expo) being continued and comparatively at a bigger scale this year. For Gulf Craft, the boat show is always important as we get to showcase our new products and designs to our customers as we personally meet them.

Chairman, what advice would you like to give to the millennials who would like to join as seafarers and other areas of the Superyacht industry? Do you believe gender equality can be balanced in the boating industry?

Today there is no difference. I have observed that in Maldives and in most organizations, women are more committed towards their work. In fact, we have a lot of young women working in our offices. In number, it is less in the field I believe, but we are ready to provide the platform and opportunity for women if they choose to get trained and work in the operational field. We hope to see more equal opportunities in the future.

Join the communities, the associations, get as much information, and get educated.

This year we are displaying our 45ft boat with a totally new interior, hoping it to be a revolutionary and transformative revelation to the luxury hotel and resort market. However, it is not limited to that market as we plan to collaborate with the government as well in the mediums of transportation and military vessels.

We believe that Gulf Craft has played a significant role in revolutionizing the ocean transportation system in the Maldives, particularly in reducing travel time. Additionally, we are building a brand-new state-of-the-art facility in the Maldives which will expand the Gulf Craft portfolio allowing for the building of bigger boats and yachts. This facility will not only cater to the local Maldivian market but also create opportunities for exporting to Asia and Africa. We shall hopefully export the first boat in the next two months, and I believe it is something all Maldivians must be proud of!

Chairman, what is your vision and plans for the upcoming lagoon of Gulf Craft Marina in the Maldives?

We are developing a school and a factory, where we will be taking in young Maldivians with potential and building their talent in carpentry, electric and fiberglass building. After completing their training, they will have the freedom to choose whether to continue working with Gulf Craft or pursue other opportunities that interest them. Our objective is to build talent, and to create opportunities for the local community and future millennials. With that aim, we will also be training boat captains and crew on navigation systems as well as safety systems. We hope in the future, a lot of young people will find good job opportunities and build committed careers since Maldives is surrounded by and depends on water to a great extent.

Exclusive Interview: Chairman & Abeer - Gulf Craft

Ms. Abeer, as an iconic woman in the Superyacht industry, how did you first get inspired and join this industry?

Ms. Abeer, what challenges have you faced and how did you overcome the situations?

Thank you for the opportunity. Of course, my father being the Chairman of Gulf Craft; we were raised and natured within the world of Boating. I have been going on boats since I was very small with lots of fun, joyful memories. So, for me, I really learnt that passion with that love for boating from my father.

Soon after my first university graduation, I was very excited to join the industry. But he felt I needed more experience in different industries and it would be vital to enrich my knowledge. So, I worked in different places and then I started a family. As time passed and with the growth of the company, my father decided to invite me to join the team. Over the years, with passion, I have learned a lot from the footprints of my father.

You know, there are always challenges when you are in an industry like boating, which is particularly complicated and has many different factors. Gulf Craft builds a wide range of boats from the smallest to the largest super yachts in the world. Practically speaking, I would love to apply more lean production practices in every aspect of our business without losing the craft nature of our industry, and that has been a real work in progress for me.

Currently, I am working in the Executive Office reporting directly to the Chairman. Most of my day revolves around the Finance, Sales, Marketing, and HR issues within the company.

However, I am engaged in all aspects of the business.

My father used to tell me, when we launched Gulf Craft in 1982, there was no marine infrastructure or skilled labour available in the UAE. Back then, the team was having a lot of challenges to get support from the local suppliers. Our shipyard is vertically integrated to manufacture our products in-house. Hence, navigating all the issues involved with building and training a skilled workforce was a huge challenge; especially during COVID-19. We as a team always believed that our greatest strength was to maintain and to assure an optimum level of quality without compromising on anything.

With challenges, we had other opportunities as well. We successfully delivered two superyachts with less manpower when the global supply chain was on halt. At the same time, we managed over 1200 employees, making sure that everybody was safe and well by taking care of our own families at home. I think that was the most challenging time of our experience at Gulf Craft.

Ms. Abeer, can you tell us your experience as a female leader in a male dominated industry like the Superyacht industry?

I don’t like to focus too much on this. Honestly, I rarely think about it. This industry is more about pulling your weight and proving your hard work. In boat building, you need all hands on deck, if you pull your weight, no one cares about your gender.

If you are competing with a colleague in your own company, everyone loses. There is a strong quote by Michael Jordan, “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.”

Within the company I have never faced any issues, all our employees work well with me, and we have mutual respect.

There were situations where people from outside the company assumed they will get more done if they spoke to a man. But today, I strongly believe that there is no gender bias in most of the organizations. It’s all about hard work and delivery. Once you prove that you work hard and that you are capable, I think there is deep respect.

Floating Asia | Summer 2023

Exclusive Interview: Chairman & Abeer - Gulf Craft

Ms. Abeer, after talking to you and seeing all of you working together on the same goal, I really think in Gulf Craft you have a balance in gender equality in the top positions as well, is this correct?

Yes. I am very proud to say that there are many women working in Gulf Craft in top positions and I think that it’s important that you have women in leadership positions, and we work hard on trying to ensure that we don’t use gender in any kind of way to make decisions but rather we try to use other types of qualities like leadership, teamwork things of that sort.

Never take anything for granted. Take time and learn the business. I think it’s important to speak to employees across all levels. Walk the talk. You also need to learn from them and understand their jobs. My door is always open, and I think that’s important. I can’t always give people what they want but I can always try to hear them out and see life from their perspective.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme is #EmbracingEquity, so what does this slogan mean to you, Ms. Abeer? And you have been practicing this within your organization?

I think that is important, you know, there are a lot of different things you must take into consideration; equality is not necessarily the same for everyone. Equity is making sure that everybody has equal access. Different people need different things. So, I like the idea of Equity and I think it’s a great slogan.

Yes, we try to always see what, you know I really want to be a premier employer across the region, and I think that we try as much as we can to make sure that we support our employees to the best of our abilities. We are very proud to have so many families working at Gulf Craft, and to have so many people that enjoy working at Gulf Craft. In fact, we usually do an internal event called the annual family gathering where we invite all our employees to bring their families in. We have a great big festivity as we do a sports event, we do a talent show, etc. So, we really try to make sure that families are at the forefront of what we do.

Looking back on the 4 decades of passion, innovation, and growth, what made Gulf Craft come up with the new strategic theme; Legacy in Motion?

Well, Legacy in Motion is recognition that we have 40 years under our belt, and we are looking towards a brighter future, that we are continuously moving and continuously improving.

We build on our legacy, and we move forward as one of the world’s leading fully integrated boat and yacht manufacturers.

Meticulous market research and trend forecasting for a broader global market establish the Majesty 111 and Nomad 101 as new leaders. With a clear focus on the sustainability theme - with better fuel efficiency, smart product design, and emissions-reducing technologies, it will reflect our legacy with a bold, forward-thinking stance – the future of Yacht building.

Efficiency and the desire to be as environmentally friendly as possible were key drivers for technology on board.

What are the new markets and countries that Gulf Craft wants to expand and make a mark in the Superyacht business?

Gulf Craft is looking to expand into many new markets at the same time. We are looking at both increasing our service capabilities, our service revenue and increasing that part of the business as well as increasing our presence in the United States and Australia. U.S.A and Australia are the two markets we are really looking at now to flourish. We are in those markets, but we are growing our presence.

What are the Community Engagements and Sustainable projects that you envision to work in Asia and Middle East with Gulf Craft team?

We support a lot of Ocean Conservation projects around the world. Gulf Craft is a member of Super Yacht Builders Association (SYBAss), uniting and representing superyacht builders around the world. SYBAss works with Gulf Craft and regulatory bodies to ensure the rules which impact superyachts to consider the unique nature of the vessels.

Gulf Craft supports Marine conservation programmes such as Water Revolution Foundation and the Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs) Programme, Turtle Saving Programmes, Beach Cleaning activities, etc. We also actively participate in talk shows and panel discussions in leading boat shows around the world.

We engage ourselves in Sustainability initiatives in-house through our technology in innovation without compromising on quality. With Gulf Craft trailblazing the use of lightweight materials in its yachts, it helps to improve processes and structures within the industry and provides information and knowledge exchange. Gulf Craft also welcomes traineeships and requests for activities such as educational tours from different universities and technical institutes.

Insure Your Marine Vessel with Allied Marine Hull insurance is a specialized form of coverage that protects vessel owners against a range of perils, ensuring financial security in case of damage, loss, or liability arising from various maritime incidents. Through Allied Insurance, this coverage is available in two forms: Institute Time Clauses Hulls (Total Loss Only) and Institute Time Clauses Hulls (Full Cover) Total Loss Only In a “Total Loss Only” policy, the coverage focuses specifically on the actual or constructive total loss of the insured vessel.

So, if the vessel suffers damage or is broken beyond a predetermined threshold, where the cost of repair exceeds the vessel’s insured value, the policy comes into effect. It provides compensation to the shipowner for the full insured value of the vessel, in such a scenario.

To illustrate; if the vessel encounters a catastrophic event that renders it beyond repair, or if it is deemed a constructive total loss, this policy would fairly compensate the shipowner for the insured value of the vessel.

Optionally, for an added premium, vessel / liveaboard owners can also be insured to cover the perils of passenger liability. This includes loss of life, bodily injury, and property damage of passengers.

Allied team is backed by the world’s leading reinsurance companies. With long standing relationships, their reinsurance treaties are well protected and their local presence much strengthened, while making them more knowledgeable on the relevant market segments and risk conditions. Having A-rated reinsurers supporting the company over the years, they have built a huge capacity which is currently unmatched in the market.

Allied is a 100% Maldivian Insurance Company. They are in the Maldives to help you harness a healthy, safe, and secure lifestyle while protecting your assets, property, and business in the Maldives.

Allied assures you the protection you need when you need it most.

Full Cover On the other hand, a “Full Cover” Policy is broader in scope.

It not only covers the total loss scenarios as previously described, but also includes coverage for partial losses. Here, partial losses refer to damages that may not result in the total loss of the vessel, but still require maintenance or repair.

For instance, if the vessel is involved in a collision resulting in repairable damage, the Full Cover policy would provide compensation to cover for the cost of repairing the damage.

With Allied Insurance, both these policies are covered from several perils. These include: • Perils of the seas rivers lakes or other navigable waters • Violent theft by persons from outside the Vessel • Fire, Explosion • Jettison • Piracy • Breakdown of or accident to nuclear installations or reactors • Contact with aircraft or similar objects, or objects falling therefrom, land conveyance, dock or harbor equipment, or installation.

• Earthquake, Volcanic eruption, or lightning.

• Accidents in loading discharging or shifting cargo or fuel.

• Bursting of boilers breakage of shafts or any latent defect in the machinery or hull • Negligence of Master Officers Crew or Pilots • Negligence of repairers or charterers provided such repairers or charterers are not an Assured hereunder.

• Barratry of Master Officers or Crew provided such loss or damage has not resulted from want of due diligence by the Assured, Owners or Managers.

Exclusive Interview: Mohamed Ryan Thoyyib (Rye)

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH

RYAN THOYYIB

Surfing is Not a Sport, It’s a Lifestyle Enjoying the World class waves across the turquoise blue lagoons, crystal-clear surf breaks, white sandy beaches, shallow lagoons with vibrant live coral reefs, snorkeling with the colorful fishes, underwater creatures and catching the waves is like a dream come true. Surf Tourism is one of the fastest-growing lifestyles…not just a sport…It’s a passion.

Maldivian waters have been on the bucket list for all levels of surfers. Beginner to professional.

Floating Asia team had the privilege of holding an exclusive interview with the First Surfer to hold a BSc in Surf Science and Technology in the Maldives. He is a local surf operations manager who shares his experiences and his visions for the future of Surfing in the Maldives.

1. Mohamed Ryan Thoyyib (Rye) is a talented, young professional who is building the footprints in the Maldives shores as an avid Surfer. How did you get inspired to join this industry? And what is your educational background?

I always had a passion for sports; loved swimming, watersports, and going out surfing with my friends. Initially, I tried it for fun and had no idea how addictive it would be and how it would transmute my future. I am a fun loving personality and always w anted to enjoy the work that I do.

Hence, I figured I should study something that would create such a balance in my life.

It was always at the top of my bucket list to surf after O’ Levels. A relative of mine, well known as Beachy, took me for my first ever surf. After that I could not stop. After A’ Levels in Malaysia, I decided to do a BSc in Surf Science and Technology from the University of Plymouth, United Kingdom.

Following graduation, I enrolled myself in the Land and Marine Environmental Resource Group (LaMER) as an Environmental Consultant. While still working at LaMER, I returned home and continued to work there for another year. Dara then approached me to come join Atoll Adventures in Cinnamon Dhonveli, which is where I started my career as a surf guide.

Today, I am employed by Waterproof Sports and I am leading the surf operations at Adaaran Select Hudhuranfushi Resort.

2. What is the Surfing panorama in the Maldives?

Surfers around the globe spend a fortune to come and surf in the Maldives waters for one reason: fewer crowds. As surfing is growing in popularity for all age groups; the Maldives has started to become busy with surfers in the peak season; especially in the North Malé atoll - but you can still find quieter surf spots in the Central and Southern Atolls.

In the Maldives, people do not perceive surfing as a ‘real job’.

Surfing is regarded as a hobby or just a fun sport - something you do when you have free time on the weekends. There even was this deluded conception among society that surfing is an activity for drug users or school dropouts, but over the past years, the sport has grown rapidly across the world and become accepted within the local community. The perception of surfing has changed over the decades, with Maldivian athletes being celebrated for achieving international acclaim in the sport.

Exclusive Interview: Mohamed Ryan Thoyyib (Rye)

3. Where is your top surfing spot in the Maldives Shores?

Sultans (in the North Malé atoll) is my favorite. The name itself; a wave for the “sultans” - defines it: a nice and easy takeoff, with a big bottom turn, a big curve on the top, and a speedy inside section with barrels, when the swell is bigger.

As a right-hander, I have surfed this wave in pretty much all conditions, so I understand it well. It is the most consistent and famous break in the Maldives, and I have had my best surf sessions there.

4. What is the best Surfing Season in the Maldives?

It starts in March and lasts until November.

• From December to March: This is Iruvai season where it’s very dry and the wind blows from the East. The surf is inconsistent and we get bad strong currents but it is a good period for beginners as the waves are small. Mostly good for diving, fishing and other excursions.

• April/May and October/November: These months are the shoulder months for the surf season. The weather is mostly good at these times with less wind and storms. The swell size is not so big with a range of 2-5ft. The waves are very glassy with beautiful conditions. This is a good time for people who don’t mind smaller waves but with great conditions.

• June to September: This is Hulhangu season where its mostly wet with a lot more rain and wind comes from the West. This is the period where you get a lot of swell and is very consistent. Waves can go from 5ft to 10ft at times. The wind can be bad but there are other options to surf breaks which are more protected.

• October-November: Offer the perfect conditions for surfing on the southern atolls.

5. What are your achievements in the industry?

With past 15 years of experience as a Surfer, I have been competing in National Bodyboarding Competitions before I became a Professional Surf Guide. I won the Rookie of the Year Award at a Bodyboarding Competition in 2014 and I am the first and only one to hold a BSc in Surf Science & Technology in the Maldives.

For me, being a Surf Guide is far more rewarding than competitions. I believe being a Surf Guide is a career which allows more opportunities for self-development. Currently, I hold a Surf Instructor Level One Certificate, which makes me a certified instructor of the International Surfing Association (ISA).

However, my biggest achievement so far is getting the offer in 2021 to become the Surf Operations Manager of one of the biggest surf operations in the Maldives here at Lohis, Adaaran Select Hudhuranfushi.

Exclusive Interview: Mohamed Ryan Thoyyib (Rye)

6. What do you like most about your job?

This is my dream job! I’m doing what I love to do. This is a very active job and helps in keeping me fit. I get to surf every day and enjoy an uncrowded surf break right in my backyard! We run a sustainable operation here at Lohis where we limit the number of surfers on the island to forty-five per day. This way, everyone gets plenty of waves.

Other than this I get to eat good food and enjoy the luxury of meeting people from all over the world from different backgrounds. Everyone has a different story to tell. The best part is, now I have a place to stay in most parts of the world for free!

In the end it is the smile on every surfing guest’s face that makes me love my job.

7. How would you describe your job and a day at work?

The team I manage consists of surf guides, surf instructors, surf photographers, and a yoga instructor. My day-to-day job includes planning surf trips to other surf breaks nearby depending on the conditions and preferences of our clients.

After analyzing the tides, currents, wind, and swell, I advise clients on what the best time of the day is for surfing and also which surf break would be the most ideal for them.

Being certified as an ISA level 1 surf instructor, I also conduct beginner surf lessons for guests on the island who have never tried surfing before and for people who want to improve their level of surfing. But the most important part is safety. I always make sure that one surf guide is on duty at the surf bar deck monitoring the surfers at the surf spot ‘Lohis’ which is the surf break on this island. One surf guide always goes on the boat trips to other surf spots nearby for safety reasons and also to explain the surf breaks to new guests using our proper local knowledge.

I do deal with inquiries by mail about booking periods and further information about our operation. I also always update our Instagram profile ‘lohismaldives’ with daily photos and videos of the waves and the vibes at Lohis.

8. What is the biggest challenge in the Surfing industry? How do you envision the Surfing Tourism in the Maldives?

My biggest concern is over the possibility of the Maldives losing its uniqueness as an exclusive luxury surf destination.

If we are unable to maintain sustainable surfing, we may become another destination where the surf breaks are overcrowded.

Maldives has always been an eminent travel destination for honeymooners and divers. People travel from all around the world to enjoy the pristine waters and white sandy beaches.

However, in recent years the waters of Maldives have started to fill with more and more surfers staying on charter boats/ liveaboards, guesthouses, and resorts.

Outlining the future of surfing, both globally and in the Maldives, I believe that Maldives is becoming ever more popular with each passing day. The demand for Surfing Tourism has increased. Businesses are willing to invest and provide opportunities to accommodate more surfers, as more and more surfers are traveling in search of uncrowded magical waves. This is better for the economy but only up to a certain point. Surfers that are multiple-time repeaters are already complaining about the overcrowded surf breaks in North Male’ Atoll and have said that if this escalates, they will not come back. A few surf spots on resorts are already practicing a sustainable approach where they limit the number of surfers and charge a premium price by making that wave exclusive to the guests staying on that island. Guests staying on these resorts get to catch a 100 times more waves than they would elsewhere.

more surf schools will start to operate on different islands around the Maldives, giving a chance for more people to get involved in the sport. I am motivated and determined to create awareness and push policymakers to make it mandatory for all safari boats and tourist resorts to employ certified surf guides. Currently, while most resorts have certified surf guides on board, this path is not followed by safari vessels, raising the risk of unfortunate incidents in the event of an emergency.

I am also vocal against the recruitment of expatriates as surf guides, without considering the availability of capable locals in the field. Difficulties in finding employment for local surf guides is one of the biggest obstacles for the local surfing community.

10. What advise you would give to the millennials who are eager to join the Surfing industry?

Get into the water as soon as you can. I promise you that once you catch your first wave, it definitely will not be your last.

You have so many opportunities nowadays. As a surfer, you can compete and earn by getting sponsorships and support from the government. On the other hand, you can be a surf guide or start a business and work within the surf tourism industry and create a living out of it.

Surfing definitely did change my life.

This will not be easy, but I think the way forward is to try and limit all the surf breaks on every island or reef with a governing body, implementing ‘surf rangers’ to look after and manage the surf guests on these breaks. A practice similar to this could be beneficial as it reduces overcrowding and engages the local community with more jobs. With this being said, I personally think that local surfers should be able to surf any wave at any time they want within their country.

9. What are the strategies for the local community and your contribution for the Surfing Tourism in Maldives?

Other than looking after countless surf guests coming to stay with us in the Maldives, I have helped with running classes to certify surf guides from all over the country as ISA-qualified surf instructors.

I have also taken numerous beginner surf lessons for local kids and adults and introduced them to the wonderful life of surfing.

I am currently the distributor for a South African brand called ‘RYD’ where I sell beginner soft top surfboards and surf accessories to locals at a more affordable price. Surfing is still not a famous sport in the Maldives. However, I am hoping that

Exclusive Interview

DR. SHAM’AA ABDULLAH HAMEED (ANNA) FROM OCEAN WARRIORS AND PARLEY MALDIVES TO SSI MALDIVES

For someone to make a career transition from Medicine to Marine Studies and then on to the oceans, the quest for real greatness sometimes begins with a journey to figure out who you really are. Read our exclusive interview with her now.

1. Tell us about your career transition and the primary takeaways from them?

Bismillah - It’s been a wild and wonderful journey. Each of these transitions reflect different aspects of my nature, what I am passionate about, and my deep, abiding beliefs.

It’s just a matter of bringing to focus and developing particular attributes at different times in my life as the occasion demanded. Of course, I do continue my other interests though less intensely.

For instance, studying for my first degrees in applied sciences, and then graduate medicine, was fuelled by my fascination with science, human physiology and my desire to learn to help others. During this time, and through my school years, the ocean, and from age seven, diving, has been an integral part of my life.

What I love most about the ocean is its unique healing powers and I became a professional diver to share this wonderful elixir with others. Breathing underwater and becoming one with the ocean is a transformational feeling.

I love being the person who provides this experience to others, and lately, being the person who teaches people to transform others’ lives.

Much the same way, caring for the environment has always been a part of my life. Of course, it wasn’t called that when I was growing up. I was taught to be thankful for this precious world that has been placed under our stewardship and to take responsibility for the impacts we have on it. I feel that conservation should not be limited to bold, big actions on a public stage. I believe that integrating responsible practices into day to day living, through many small decisions and acts will have a bigger, more sustainable impact on the world. That is what I live by and what I try to pass on to others.

These transitions are just curves along the path of my journey of learning and self-discovery. I love exploring the different facets of my potential, pushing past conventional boundaries, without limiting or confining myself to others’ expectations. The way I see it, I’m going from one thing I love to do to another thing that I love to do and enjoying the ride all the way.

Exclusive Interview : Dr. Sham'aa Abdullah Hameed (Anna)

2. You are the first PADI Platinum Course Director in the Maldives, and based on your experience, what are the challenges you face when it comes to professional development and training programs?

The main difficulty I have come across is teaching the importance of keeping ethical and moral standards. I think that’s one of the toughest things to impart to students, because unfortunately, there are a lot of bad role models out there.

When a diver coming for further training displays substandard or unethical practices, I have found that it was usually learned through bad role models or improper guidance, either in prior training or at the workplace. Like in any field, students come to learn with an open and eager mind. So, it is up to the trainer or instructor to teach them the right values and guide their development. When you train professionals, you pass on how and why you make different decisions or judgement calls in order for your students to learn to do the right thing in similar situations.

You need to teach them to set standards and values for themselves, to do things to the best of their ability, and never compromise their safety or the safety of others.

Since I cannot control the work conditions my graduates go to, I encourage and support them to have the strength to stay true to their ethical standards and their training – no matter how tempting or difficult the situation. A lot of the accidents and disastrous situations that dive instructors and dive professionals find themselves in could have been prevented by following safety standards and making the right judgement call.

3. From where do you draw your inspiration in the diving industry and how long does it take to become a great dive instructor?

Motivation for everything I do, especially when faced with challenges comes from my parents and the upbringing they gave. They embodied the values that I try to emulate, live up to and pass on.

I draw inspiration from nature and ultimately, the Creator.

All one needs to do is look around and you begin to realise how blessed you are. To exist, to be able to dive, live, work, in such a country as ours.

One lesson from childhood that has stuck well is that the only yardstick to measure yourself against is with yourself.

I will try to do better today than how I did yesterday. Live up to my own expectations. I don’t measure my success or failures against anyone else.

With my unconventional childhood and unique upbringing (as unique as it could be when shared with eleven siblings and twice that number of cousins and extended family!), the ocean was always a part of life. We grew up around it, it was our playground, our heaven, a source of endless enchantment. So segueing from swimming and playing in the ocean to scuba diving was very smooth. I was just following in the footsteps of my siblings and cousins who had made the same journey. I think I was just 6 or 7 years old when I started diving. And I haven’t looked back since then.

Becoming a dive professional was a choice. Returning home from studying and to work abroad as a medical doctor, I thought to take a break from the stress. My sanctuary has always been the ocean and I returned to it.

Continuing my dive training was just a happy coincidence at that time. But seeing the distinct lack of local female dive professionals at the time I wanted to learn more and I thought I could do it well, I became a dive guide. I enjoyed the training and the tough work, so I decided to work harder and become the best dive professional I could be.

That is why I believe that going from a recreational diver to deciding to make diving your profession has to be an active choice. Because you are deciding to serve people, who sometimes might not be at their best. You are deciding to work harder than anyone else on the team, to offer your help and expertise to people who need your assistance.

There is no minimum or maximum amount of time that you spend to become a great dive instructor. The training components can be completed in one year, depending on the organization and its requirements. But unlike most other vocations, dive training is based on student performance and achieving mastery, not time. As with anything, you can complete your training and become competent, but it is your attitude and hard work that will determine whether you become just another dive instructor or a great one, with the power to positively transform lives.

Exclusive Interview : Dr. Sham'aa Abdullah Hameed (Anna)

4. Have you found that your love for the ocean easily translates into your daily activities and daily missions?

How do you go about putting this into your daily life?

My love is not just for the ocean, it is for nature and everything related to it. I am thankful for what God has bestowed. It is not a part of daily life so much as it is a way of life.

The way I see it, this environment, this ocean, this Earth, owns us. We don’t own it. We are lucky enough to be inhabiting it for a time. That means we have to give it back intact or better than when we got it. To pass it forward to the next generation who is going to inhabit it after us. We must look after this beautiful environment that we have been blessed with. We don’t break things that we value and love, we protect it. We are guardians of something precious and we are accountable for our actions, to a higher power and to future generations.

5. As the First Regional Manager of SSI Maldives; what exciting plans do you have lined up over the next few months?

On behalf of the Maldives dive industry, I wish to thank and applaud SSI for having the strength of vision to appoint a Maldivian as Regional Manager for the country. This is a long-awaited moment for our dive industry - for a Maldivian to represent one of the major international dive training agencies operating in the country. I thank SSI for the opportunity and look forward to working within the organisation to better serve our industry.

Yes, definitely. It is our obligation towards this magnificent underwater world from which we earn a living. I believe it is the duty of all divers, professional or otherwise, to lead the movement towards sustainable tourism. We need to conserve and protect the underwater environment and make sure that we do all we can to maintain and sustain it for the future generations to enjoy as we have done.

8. Early this year, you mentioned about your involvement in registering the Ocean Warriors Institute. Please share with our readers more about it and the current status.

Alhamdhulillah. Ocean Warriors has taken off spectacularly - way beyond my wildest dreams. Our Dive Tribe has grown exponentially as more ocean enthusiasts join our dive community every day. Our tribes are about inclusivity without bias, and we don’t differentiate on the level of service we provide to locals, work permit holders or tourists. I am ecstatic to see that we have brought a positive change to the quality of service provided to ocean lovers at the capital city.

We have successfully graduated several dive masters and dive instructors and the industry stakeholders have nothing but praise for their performance at the workplace.

Our employability rate is at a hundred percent and the employers are once again reaching out to us to fill their teams with our graduates.

We have a lot of big projects in the pipeline both for the country and for our members. One of the biggest reasons I was drawn to this organization is their commitment to developing the human resources of the country to meet the needs of the industry. I can say this for sure, a lot of exciting things are going to happen, Inshaa Allah. I can’t wait to get started.

The Apnea Tribe for freedivers has been launched but has been slow to take off. We anticipate this to improve with the start of guided freediving trips on weekends. We will also be kicking off our Fish Tribe in the coming days, with regular guided fishing trips where fishing enthusiasts, young and old can learn more about the marine environment and sustainable fishing practices.

But first and foremost, we plan to go and say hello to all the members of the SSI family here in Maldives. To see how everyone is doing and how best we can support them during the busy tourist season at hand.

Our Young Ocean Warriors Leadership program was inaugurated during the school holidays, and we now have a number of Young Warriors leading the way on ocean awareness actions in schools. Our Institute is a safe, disciplined, learning environment with strong positive role models for youth and this has been greatly appreciated and valued by parents and educators.

6. In terms of diver training certification, how would you benchmark SSI qualified trainers?

At the highest. SSI professionals have the benefit of a fully digitalised suite of teaching tools which support the instructor and provide greater flexibility to suit different teaching and learning styles. Access to teaching material is easy and without undue restrictions or delays, and the teaching system is designed to provide the right tools for professionals to perform at their best while training or providing service to divers.

If you are a disciplined instructor, the organisation you choose to affiliate with will not matter, as all reputable dive training organisations follow and comply with international standards to ensure the quality and safety of diver training.

It is a matter of choosing to partner with an organisation that is responsive, reliable, and most importantly, available close at hand to fully understand struggles and support your work as a dive professional or dive business.

7. As a professional diver, do you think dive tourism has a role in conservation and sustainable tourism?

Floating Asia | Summer 2023

The strides we have made since starting only a few months ago have been tremendous. I am so thankful to God and so very proud of how far Ocean Warriors has come in such a short period of time. Inshaa Allah, Ocean Warriors will continue to exceed expectations.

Exclusive Interview : Dr. Sham'aa Abdullah Hameed (Anna)

9. What’s your advice for aspiring dive instructors?

Becoming a dive instructor will be one of the most challenging and rewarding things you will do. That being said, you should become an instructor only if you love to teach. If you just love to dive, then you can stay a dive guide and still share your passion with others.

Being a dive instructor is a huge responsibility and it takes patience and determination. You have an obligation and a duty of care towards your students. They trust in your expertise and ability to guide them through the learning process to become independent divers. Always value the safety of your students and make sure you train them to be safe, competent divers who make the right decisions.

Know that you have a choice, to become a good role-model for your students to emulate, or you can choose to take shortcuts and teach things the easy way, not the safe way.

If you don’t have the moral fortitude to do the right thing, don’t become an instructor because you will be putting lives at risk.

10. What’s left to discover in the oceans?

There is still so much! We haven’t explored the oceans as much as we should have, especially for a marine nation such as the Maldives. We must consider what more can be done for our oceans, such as developing the manpower to safeguard it, empowering regulations to prevent exploitation, and the pursuit of knowledge to utilise this resource in the most sustainable manner. The oceans might be finite but what we should be doing for the oceans must be infinite.

Anyone who enjoys the ocean in any way, even for a photo of a sunset over the water, must ponder not just upon the beauty but also on its fragility and vulnerability. So, what’s left to explore is what we can do for the oceans, not the other way around.

11. What do you think of the latest Nekton Mission that was conducted in the Maldives?

I don’t know as much as I would like to about the Nekton Mission. I am just very proud of the fact that Maldivians are a part of the actual mission underwater. Any project that’s undertaken in the Maldives should involve locals in all stages of the project with due credit given. Though the majority of the Maldives consists of the ocean, we do not have sufficient Maldivians working to develop, protect, or conserve the oceans.

Our national policies should be focused on providing education and training opportunities for Maldivians so they can be employed at all levels in tourism and fisheries.

As professionals working in this industry, we are reaping profits from the ocean through tourism, and while the ocean is not benefitting from our presence. This is something we need to consider as a country, what more we should be doing for the oceans..

12. What is your opinion on the free divers and the depth level they venture into? Is it a very big concern?

Freediving is an exhilarating sport and Maldives has the ideal environment for this.I am not formally trained in freediving, but I too feel the attraction of being free to explore the underwater world without being encumbered by scuba equipment.

Freediving can be experienced safely by everyone as long as proper training and safety measures are taken. As with any other water activity, I would encourage those who have the enthusiasm for freediving, to get proper training and enjoy the sport responsibly.

SALTED FIBER WORKS Keeping things Simple, Streamlined, and Efficient

In today’s world, millennials and the young generation must be wondering how modern fiberglass boats are built at the utmost luxury standard in the Maldives. Traditional Sailing Vessels and Dhoni’s have transformed with innovative marine propulsion systems and cuttingedge onboard technology, to the advanced physics of computerized hull-designed Power Boats and Luxury Liveaboards.

56

Yes. Maldives is in the middle of the equator, scattered across the Indian Ocean with multi-talented creative minds. Out of curiosity to plan and execute something unique on the Maldivian shores, a young and energetic team joined together to deliver a service with a reputation of high-quality craftsmanship, outstanding customer service, innovation, and integrity, with the vibrant name Salted Fiber.

Since 2010, the Salted Fiber Works team has been providing distinctive fiberglass works, boat and yacht restorations and refurbishments, hull construction, consultation, and project management of building marine vessels, woodworks, and landscaping projects with major resort brands, and government projects in a different scale – keeping things Simple, Streamlined and Efficient in style.

Previously boats were built of wood, steel, and other materials by assembling pieces and parts into a structure which was then sheathed with a hull. With fiberglass boat building, the major components of the boat – the hull, deck, liner, and large parts like consoles—are molded from fiberglass. The mold is first sprayed with gel-coat, then fiberglass cloth is applied, and then resin is used to saturate or “wet out” the fiberglass. When the resin cures, you have a hull or a boat part.

Most importantly, they take pride in resolving the technical difficulties of the clients, which involves tender projects for project supplies, cargo handling and delivery, Import and customs clearance of sea-going vessels, designing and building marine vessels, and supplying plants and trees for resort and local projects.

43 years of Experience

THE SUCCESS STORY OF VOYAGES MALDIVES Back when the Maldives was just about emerging into the world, a company that would revolutionize exploring the archipelago appeared. In 1980, Voyages Maldives started an era of tourism that offered excellence in tour operation for guests. Today, Voyages Maldives is one of the leading travel agents and liveaboard operators of Maldives, with a fleet of remarkable liveaboard vessels and inclusive and memorable itineraries.

The operations of Voyages Maldives began very modestly, with a traditional mechanized Dhoni “Voyager 1” that would take guests on a voyage of truly Maldivian essence. With these humble beginnings, Voyages Maldives took off on a steady-rapid course.

According to Co-founder of Voyages Maldives, Salah Shihab, the company’s most significant moment in history was the company’s first international partners: Francorosso as the first tour operator, British Airways as the first airline, and later, partnering with Swiss travel company Kuoni in 1984. Many travelers from Europe arrived to Maldives with the involvement of Voyages Maldives; and many even experienced the amazing Maldivian adventures on the various vessels of Voyages Maldives.
