Africa-Press – Mauritius. The Mauritius Shipping Corporation Ltd (MSCL) will relaunch the Passenger service for the Mauritius-Rodrigues-Mauritius route on board of the MV Trochetia, as from 17 July 2023, announced the Managing Director of the MSCL, Mr Dineshrao Babajee, today, during a press conference held onboard the MV Mauritius Trochetia.
The Chairperson of the MSCL, Mr Dunputh Khoosye, as well as Captain Mahendra Babooa, and Captain Daniel Nookia, were present. The MV Trochetia, he said, will make two trips per month to enable Mauritians and Rodriguans take advantage of this service.
He added that the ship is equipped with four room categories with a maximum capacity of 106 passengers. An array of facilities is being put at the disposal of passengers during the trip including breakfast, lunch, tea time, dinner, bar, entertainment as well as medical and duty-free services, he further said.
The Managing Director stated that passengers will be able to stay overnight on the ship at an additional minimum cost instead of looking for a hotel or guest house to stay.
Another new measure being implemented is that passengers will benefit from free freight on food and agro products. This, he underlined, will help to boost the activities of Small and Medium Enterprises while encouraging businesses.
Mr Babajee further pointed out that the MSCL reviewed the quantity of luggage per passenger while highlighting that a passenger will, henceforth, be allowed to carry four luggage of 22 kg each.
The cabins proposed will be in the following categories: Tourist class at Rs 8,625 per adult; first class at Rs 9,733.50 per adult; semi-deluxe class at Rs 11,896.50; and deluxe class as from Rs 12,978. Tickets will be on sale as from Tuesday 04 July 2023.
