Role of ports in the exchange of goods and merchandise from one island: Trade for an island, port, rather than the airport, which is often described by high cost, plays a pivotal role essential. In Madagascar and Mauritius, almost 98% of the inputs and outputs of goods move through the port. Outside the budget factor, the quantity carried by a ship are far superior to those of a plane. Except perishable foods or control urgent travel by air, the rest pass along the quays of Port-Louis or Tamatave. In addition to the airport, and the lack of rail transport, the port plays a clear role of umbilical cord.
Increasing traffic, the advantage in Mauritius: Port Louis now holds the leading position in the ports of islands southwest of the Indian Ocean with a traffic of 5.6 million tonnes. At independence in 1968, its traffic already reached 1.5 million tons. Between 1985 and 2004, Port-Louis posted a beautiful record growth of 207%. The explosion of container traffic justifies to some extent the growth of port traffic. Opened in 1979 in Port-Louis, container terminals have doubled the tonnage on average every six years, from 14,000 TEUs in 1979 to 253,000 TEUs in 2005.
These better results are justified by the following reasons. Firstly, Mauritius acquires a larger site (13.6 ha) and therefore a high capacity storage and treatment (27,000 TEUs). Second, the costs are lower in Port-Louis, many shipping companies prefer to relax. Third and finally, it has a significantly deeper pool (13 meters against 12 in La Réunion). It can accommodate ships with a stronger draft. However, both appear among the highest productivity in the region. Their terminals treat an average of 25 containers per crane per hour, as against 8 in Durban and 3 in Toamasina.
