Maldives State Shipping (MSS) marked the occasion by honoring its dedicated crew across its fleet. In a heartfelt gesture of appreciation, MSS office staff visited three of their vessels—MSS Galena, MSS Chrome, and MV Barrier—to join the celebrations and personally hand over gifts to the crew members.
The visits took place on June 25th, with office staff boarding the MSS-owned and operated vessels to engage with the crew and acknowledge their hard work and dedication. Leading the celebration were Managing Director & CEO Mr. Ahmed Shareef, Deputy Managing Director Captain Ahmed Zubair, Chief Operating Officer Captain Ibrahim Rafeeu, Marine Superintendent & DPA Captain Ahmed Shahid, and Marine Superintendent of State Trading Organization (STO) Mr. Abdul Azeez Mohamed. Teams from MSS Head Office and STO accompanied them in this commendable initiative.

As the national carrier of the Maldives, MSS recognizes the importance of nurturing local talent and providing opportunities for growth, aiming to build a thriving shipping industry that will greatly benefit the nation.
The festivities extended beyond the three visited vessels. The crews of MSS Graphene, anchored at Colombo, and MSS Opal, en route to Addu, also celebrated the day onboard, ensuring that every member of the MSS family felt valued and appreciated.
During the celebrations, MSS staff handed over gifts to the crew as tokens of gratitude, symbolizing MSS’s recognition of the crew's relentless efforts and their contribution to the company’s success.
