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 port limits have been extended to provide for sites which would allow the anchorage and furtherance of petroleum based activities, a full feasibility study has been conducted and a master plan developed.
