Port Louis beats the recession

摘要

Mauritius Ports Authority, responsible for Port Louis, reported a net surplus of Rs607.2M ($19.5M)in FY2012 on total revenues of Rs1.27Bn, compared with Rs372.6M in FY2011. Overall, cargo handled rose by 9.2%, from 6.5M tonnes to 7.1 M tonnes, while containers saw a 19.1 % hike from 350,624teu to 417,467teu, resulting from a 14% rise in container ship calls at the port. An increase in fishing vessel movements also contributed, as much of the catch is processed at the port and exported in containers.
