Specifically, the project aims to ensure at least one standardized fuel station in every atoll. FSM has launched the Kudahuvadhoo site just weeks after opening similar stations in Sh. Milandhoo and F. Nilandhoo.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Kudahuvadhoo station brings the total number of operational sites under the project to more than four, with several others still under development. In total, FSM has begun work on 18 fuel stations across the country.<\/p>\n<h3>Boost for Dhaalu Atoll<\/h3>\n<p>The new FSM fuel station strengthens fuel supply across Dhaalu atoll. Consequently, it cuts the need for long inter-island trips to refuel. In addition, the facility supports local fishermen, transport operators, and small businesses that rely on steady fuel access.<\/p>\n<p>Kudahuvadhoo also functions as a regional transit point for Dhaalu Atoll. Therefore, a standardized fuel outlet on the island benefits not just residents but also vessels and travelers moving through the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fuel Supplies Maldives (FSM) has officially begun operations at its new FSM fuel station in Dh.
