Maldives Customs Services is implementing a new regulation to issue Inter-Atoll-Travel-Permit (IATP) for vessels which have at least a class B AIS systems installed on-board.
This is believed to monitor the location of the vessel while in Maldives waters.
Once in effect, which might take place at the beginning of March 2014 vessels which do not have an AIS system ob-board would not be able to obtain the IATP nor to cruise in the Maldives.
Even though vessels can still call at port for clear-in, provisions, fuel,crew change, etc and check-out.
