The Maldivia 45 is not just a faster, lighter ferry —
it is a fundamentally more profitable way to move passengers.
In a market where operating costs define margins, the Maldivia 45 (M45) changes the economics entirely. At 72 litres per hour in its most efficient diesel configuration — and as low as $116,640 per year in its electric form — the Maldivia 45 delivers savings that compound season after season. Against the best-selling competitor burning 360 litres per hour, that difference reaches $576,000 annually in the Maldives, and up to $891,000 per year at world average fuel prices. Always compared to an established competitor with 48 feet – C48.
WHERE SUSTAINABILITY
MEETS PROFITABILITY
The reason is weight.
Where competitors sit at 21+ tonnes fully loaded, the Maldivia 45 operates at 10–13 tonnes — a structural advantage that reduces fuel demand by 40–70% and keeps draft below 0.9 metres, unlocking routes and harbours that heavier vessels simply cannot serve.
Performance does not suffer for it.
The Maldivia 45 reaches 44 knots in its V12 configuration and cruises at 30+ knots across all drive options — petrol, diesel, electric, LNG, or hydrogen. The 1,200-litre tank and 300-nautical-mile range at full load mean operators are not constrained by refuelling stops on longer inter-atoll routes.
THE SMARTEST VESSEL INVESTMENT ON THE WATER
Passenger comfort is engineered to the same standard as the hull.
Panoramic reflective glazing, dual-redundant CTM Marine air conditioning, a stern-positioned washroom and up to 58 seats across 8 reconfigurable interior layouts make the Maldivia 45 as adaptable as it is capable. DNV or CE classified, epoxy-built for zero osmosis, and protected end-to-end with rubber bumpers and ALEXSEAL PU paint — this is a vessel built for a long, profitable working life.
The Maldivia 45 platform is suited to the following commercial ferry service profiles:
-
Inter-island and harbour routes requiring consistent 30-knot schedule speed
-
High-frequency operations where per-trip fuel cost directly affects route profitability
-
Services with weight-sensitive loading — 8.7 t payload supports a huge range of passenger configurations
-
Shallow-water approaches: maximum draft 0.90 m fully loaded
-
Fleet renewal: replacing high-fuel-cost four-engine petrol platforms
