Mauritius takes next step to become global bunker hub

The Government of Mauritius has taken the next steps to develop its capital and largest city Port Louis, into a global bunkering hub that will be able to export 1 million metric tons of bunker fuel and ultimately employ 25,000 people across the marine industry. The Minister of Ocean Economy, Marine Resources, Fisheries, Shipping and Outer Islands spoke at the International Bunker Industry Association (IBIA) conference held in Port Louis on 13-15 October and outlined the government’s ambitions for this growing business sector. Each year 35,000 ships transit the waters around Mauritius moving between Asia, Southern Africa and South America and over the last few years, the number of ships taking on bunker fuel in Port Louis has been increasing. Last year the volume supplied rose from 269,324 metric tons in 2013 to 287,546 metric tons in 2014, an increase of around 6.8%. However, this figure represents just 30% of the government’s short term goal of 1 million metric tons of bunker exports per year. http://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/mauritius-takes-next-step-to-become-global-bunker-hub/
