How do you ship cargo to Mauritius from the UK?
Sea freight via Port Louis, the island's main harbour, is the cost-effective choice for barrels, boxes, furniture and household goods — usually with a transshipment leg through a regional hub. Air freight into SSR International suits urgent, fragile or high-value items. We handle groupage or a full 20ft/40ft container, collecting anywhere in the UK.
How long does shipping from the UK to Mauritius take?
Sea cargo to Port Louis generally takes 6–9 weeks, as island routings transship through a larger Indian Ocean or Gulf hub, which adds time. Air freight reaches SSR International in a few working days. We quote a realistic window per shipment.
