Refresher Session for Shipping Agents

Conducted as an online session, the discussion focused on the submission side of the Vessel Declaration workflow.

It provided shipping agents with a timely opportunity to revisit the process, ask questions, and better understand their role in submitting declarations through the system.

With the launch planned soon, the session helped ensure that agents are aligned and prepared to transition from existing manual processes to the digital platform.

Understanding the Submission Process

A key focus of the session was guiding participants through how to apply for the Vessel Declaration service on Tradian.

This included an overview of the required fields, the type of information to be submitted, and the supporting documents that need to be uploaded as part of the application.

By walking through the process step by step, the session aimed to build familiarity and confidence among shipping agents, ensuring that submissions can be completed accurately and efficiently once the service goes live.

Moving Towards Launch

With preparations continuing across both regulatory agencies and the private sector, the introduction of the Vessel Declaration service represents a significant milestone in modernising trade in the Maldives.

The refresher session for shipping agents highlights the importance of readiness on all sides, supporting a smooth and coordinated rollout of the service.

As the launch approaches, Vessel Declaration is set to enhance transparency, improve efficiency, and simplify interactions between shipping agents and authorities through a single digital platform.

More updates will be shared as they become available.
