It is only through their empowerment, knowledge skills and expertise that today we find ourselves in a position to provide the support and high level of service to our stakeholders.
What We Do
Mauritius Container Terminal
Strategically located at the entrance of Port Louis Harbour, the Mauritius Container Terminal is the undisputed link in the Indian Ocean connecting African, Australian and Asian trade and ideally poised on the south-south trade routes.
The Cargo Handling Corporation Ltd (CHCL) is a state owned private company incorporated in October 1983 to take over the activities of four private stevedoring companies. The CHCL is the sole operator for container handling activities at Port Louis. It also handles general and bulk cargoes excluding products through pipelines.
With a team of 1190 people across our three distinct business units namely, Mauritius Container Terminal, Multi Purpose Terminal and Corporate Services, we offer an efficient and reliable service to the shipping community.
Compared to other ports of the region, CHCL stands out by numerous advantages ranging from, not only the present level of productivity comparable to modern container terminals, but also the unmatchable tariff we propose for our services, organized workforce backed by smooth industrial relations, high security of cargo and personalized customer service.
