The Salt Yard
The Salt Yard
A stone‘s throw away from the Hunt Deltel Fleet Logistics Centre on Zone 14 of Ile du Port, The Salt Yard - our salt storage warehouse - handles approximately 20,000 tons of salt per year.
The sheds are purpose-built, providing robust shelter from weather elements and improved sanitary and security conditions. The warehouse will also provide a vast improvement in the work environment for staff, away from direct sun and rain with excellent ventilation. Special traps have been designed within the sheds to capture runoff and minimise leaking into the ground. Wastage, as a result will be reduced considerably.
The salt is used on board fishing vessels to produce brine for refrigeration and storage of fish. The salt is generally imported by vessel owners from Aden and Madagascar and reaches Seychelles onboard reefer vessels. The vessel owners store their salt ashore and replenish their on-board supplies during their calls to Port Victoria.
The storage space is sufficient to cater for our customers' needs; approximately 20,000 tons of salt is handled per year.
