Mauritius Container Terminal

While the port of Port Louis is controlled by the Mauritius Port Authority, the Mauritius Container Terminals (MCT) is under the responsibility of the Cargo Handling Corporation Limited, the operator of container activities (Loading, unloading, delivery and reception) in Port Louis. The Mauritius Container Terminal (MCT) is 560 metres long with a dredge depth of 14 metres, situated in the north side of Port Louis Harbour.

The MCT operation acts as both an import and export port and also as a transshipment port in the Indian Ocean for containers using 5 post-Panamax gantry cranes that are available at the Terminal which perform 21 moves per hour and the waiting time of a boat is approximately 3 hours. There are five porticoes which can each handle up to 100,000 containers per year which soon will be increased. Also, round the clock services are provided throughout the year for pilotage and tug assistance.
