A new quay to reduce unloading time of purse seiners and relieve congestion in the Seychelles’ Port of Victoria has been offically opened. Ile du Port Handling Services (IPHS) port is a 425-metre commercial fishing quay adjacent Port Victoria.

IPHS constructed and will manage the quay, carrying out stevedoring operations and other port activities. The port will be transferred to the government after recovery of construction and financing costs of US$18 million.
Almost 90 percent of tuna caught in Seychelles’ waters transits Port Victoria.  The port is the third largest public-private partnership project made by the Seychelles Government, the others  being the Indian Ocean Tuna canning factory and Land Marine, which provides stevedoring at Port Victoria.

The partnership for the port project was between the Seychelles’ government and Luxembourg-based Jaccar Holdings.


Seychelles Government also plans to extend the commercial port to 600m in length.
