(No. B/661) Mr F. François (Second Member for Rodrigues) asked the Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, Home Affairs and External Communications, Minister of Finance, Minister for Rodrigues and Outer Islands whether, in regard to the recent mission undertaken by the Chairperson and officers of the Mauritius Ports Authority to Rodrigues, on or about 9 to 13 June 2025, he will, for the benefit of the House, obtain from the Authority, information as to the purposes thereof and give details of the outcome thereof and of any action taken for improved service delivery.
Reply: I am informed that the purpose of the visit was to discuss the recommendations of the Port Master Plan as well as taking cognisance of port operational constraints in Rodrigues. During the visit, the following issues were discussed with the Chief Commissioner and the officials of the Rodrigues Regional Assembly – (i) the construction of a new commercial quay at Pointe Monnier; (ii) the lack of space at the container depot due to an increasing number of containers being transported, and (iii) the use of yard equipment for container/cargo handling. These issues are now being considered by the relevant authorities.
