Victoria, Seychelles, 17th March 2025 – Hunt, Deltel & Co. Ltd. (HD), a leading force in Seychelles' maritime, shipping, and logistics industry, is reinforcing its commitment to efficiency and innovation with the commissioning of its third CombiLift, with plans underway for a fourth. This investment, along with the acquisition of a new Hammar sideloader, flatbed trailers, and a 50-tonne crane, highlights HD’s role in supporting the nation’s fisheries sector and boosting container handling capabilities.
Seychelles’ fisheries sector remains a cornerstone of the country’s economy, contributing significantly to employment and exports. Efficient handling and transportation of fish and related cargo are essential to maintaining the industry's competitiveness and sustainability. HD’s introduction of new equipment will improve operational efficiency, reduce turnaround times, and optimise unloading activities at the fishing port.
Beyond fisheries, HD’s investments extend to strengthening the nation’s export capabilities through improved container handling solutions. The addition of a Hammar sideloader and flatbed trailers will streamline container haulage, reducing dependency on external lifting equipment and ensuring a more flexible, self-sufficient approach to logistics. The 50-tonne crane, meanwhile, will increase HD’s lifting capacity, allowing the company to handle larger and more complex cargo efficiently.
As part of its operational expansion, HD remains deeply committed to nurturing local talent and fostering job creation. The company’s workshop technicians are 100% Seychellois, playing a crucial role in equipment maintenance and operation. Additionally, HD collaborates with the Seychelles Institute of Technology (SIT) by offering hands-on training opportunities to interns, exposing them to real-world commissioning exercises.
Christophe Houareau, Managing Director of Hunt, Deltel & Co. Ltd., commented: “At Hunt, Deltel & Co. Ltd., we believe that investing in state-of-the-art equipment goes hand in hand with investing in people. Our workshop technicians are 100% Seychellois, and we are proud to play a role in job creation and wealth generation within our community. Through our collaboration with the Seychelles Institute of Technology (SIT), we have provided interns with hands-on exposure to the commissioning of our equipment, offering invaluable experience in real-world port operations. This initiative reaffirms our commitment to nurturing local talent, strengthening skills development, and contributing to the education sector in Seychelles. As we continue to expand, we remain dedicated to empowering the next generation of industry professionals.”
Looking ahead, Hunt, Deltel & Co. Ltd. is committed to further investing in advanced equipment and logistics infrastructure to facilitate seamless container movements in Seychelles. With ongoing improvements to efficiency, handling capacity, and workforce development, HD remains a key player in driving economic growth and supporting the country’s maritime and export sectors. By continuously refining its operations, HD is well-positioned to meet the evolving demands of the industry while strengthening Seychelles' position as a hub for regional trade.
