Indian Ocean Markets
Mauritius, Madagascar, Réunion, Seychelles and Comoros, served on short regional sea legs.
The Indian Ocean island markets are small in volume but consistent in demand, and they are structurally dependent on imports for feed, food and construction materials.
Sea transit from Durban is short, which makes these among the quickest routes we serve. Sailing frequency rather than voyage length is usually the constraint on delivery timing.
Feed ingredients for poultry operations, construction materials and food commodities make up the bulk of the demand we see.
