Ferry services were operated in Faafu Atoll by a private company named Vermelean which stopped its services all of a sudden for unknown reasons a few months ago. Veamealean was also the company that operated ferry services to Meemu atoll and Dhaalu atoll before stopping.

MTCC has now started operating its ferries in these two atolls as well and now provides services to 169 islands in the country with the exemption of Addu city and Fuvahmulah in the south.
