Our expertise in the field is unrivalled, supported by superior technology, a team of dedicated professionals and a comprehensive transport fleet which are equipped to meet all your lifting and haulage operations.
We handle the logistical support of vessels, transportation, container placement and stacking, collection and delivery all general cargo handling services.
Stevedoring
Our in-house stevedoring operations in the Fishing Port run seven days a week including public holidays. We are the proud record-holders of the most productive stevedoring shift in the port, set in 2008, and our managers remain as passionate as ever since this department opened in 1994.
Our stevedores handle over 160,000 MT of tuna annually and provide our clients with a variety of services: fish sorting, transshipment from fishing vessel to reefer vessels, trimming within the storage wells of the reefer vessels, maintenance of storage wells, direct discharge to the Indian Ocean canning factory as well as reefer container stuffing with the aid of fish loader machinery.
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.
