The famous MV Victory shipwreck off the southwest coast of airport island Hulhule had sustained major damages from anchors of marine vessels deployed for the construction of the Sinamale bridge between Hulhule and capital Male in 2016.

Therefore, in order to preserve what was left undamaged of the site, four buoys were placed in order to mark the area of the site. However, the fact remained, that during such a large project debris and trash from construction would end up damaging the site.

One of the people who played a major role in preserving the site and also the managing director of DiveDesk, Mr. Adam Ashraf said that the Victory Shipwreck reopened on the 21^st of February.

In his opinion, due to the debris from the construction of the bridge, some parts of the site had changed. Furthermore, due to the anchors from the boats which held up the equipment being let down near the site and the mud from the construction itself, the site was definitely damaged.

However, it was also mentioned that, despite this, the marine life of the site had increased,

It was said that the best way to identify the extent of the damage would be to conduct a survey, and thus, it should be done very soon.
