[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Hawks Pvt Ltd has completed one of its biggest projects yet, the development of its fuel farm in Thilafushi in just 15 months. The fuel farm is a future-oriented project of a 30,000 Mt storage capacity terminal with a berth draft of 20 metres. The farm has cargo loading/discharging capabilities of approximately 15,000 Tonnes per 24 hours.

The Hawks Pvt Ltd is a fuel import and distributing company, run by a Maldivian family with over a decade of experience as a fuel supplier. The company has developed an extensive product portfolio that includes the import, bunkering and distribution of high-quality diesel and petrol, boatyard services, sea transportation; speedboats and ferries, cinder block production, lathe and mechanical workshop with a budding hotel chain of two hotels.

The new fuel terminal with its large capacity ensures that clients will receive fuel whenever they need it. The Hawks Pvt Ltd can provide a stock which is sufficient for the demand in the Maldives at all times. With the development of the fuel terminal, clients are given the option to choose between fuel supply with the fleet or a direct pick-up of fuel on their Fuel Terminal. With a total of 14 loading stations for diesel and petrol, the number of customers has skyrocketed.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”21606″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]“The new fuel farm is a very positive project for our nation as the country has only a limited storage capacity compared to its consumption. We are excited to contribute to our nations reserve stock and to ensure that our clients can receive fuel at all times,” says Ahmed Rasheed, Chairman of the Board.

With a growing business, there is a higher demand for well-skilled team members and the company takes this opportunity to create new jobs for the local community. Job opportunities for locals have grown as The Hawks Pvt Ltd is expecting an increase in operations.

As for the fuel supply and bunkering services in the region, there are plans to increase the number of company-owned vessels in order to extend their operations beyond Maldivian borders.

Apart from the import and distribution of fuel, the company is also prospering as a hotel owner with two luxury hotels, the luxury Airport Beach Hotel in Hulhumalé and Tropical Biosphere Hotel in Kamadhoo Island. In addition to this, the building of a new hotel, Tropical Beach Hotel in Baa Atoll is underway and is expected to be completed at the end of the year.

The main scope of their business is the direct import of high-quality diesel and petrol from their suppliers in Singapore and Dubai. The company also possesses an advanced fleet of vessels that operate from the northernmost to the southernmost points of the country. The Hawks Pvt Ltd is especially keen on serving the hospitality industry and as a result, they have prestigious resort brands among their valued clientele. Operated by a skilled team, the bunkering service serves mega yachts, super yachts, safaris as well as local speedboats, cargo and fishing vessels.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”21607″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
