Mauritius Shipping
Mauritius Shipping (legal entity Mauritius Shipping Corporation Ltd.) is a niche operator headquartered in Port Louis, Mauritius. Founded in 1986, the line has spent 40 years building out its container service network and today operates a fleet of 4 vessels under the SCAC code MSCM. Total operated capacity stands near 1,500 TEU, placing the carrier among the recognised operators on its core trade lanes.
Mauritius Shipping is most active on the following corridors: Indian Ocean, Madagascar, Reunion. The line operates on a standalone basis and does not share vessel slots with other ocean carriers under a formal global alliance. Direct customer contact is available via +230 217 2700 or the carrier's web portal at mauritiusshipping.intnet.mu.
Mauritius Shipping corridor coverage
Mauritius Shipping concentrates its services on Indian Ocean, Madagascar, Reunion. Customers on these lanes typically see weekly or twice-weekly sailings depending on season and trade balance. For a current sailing schedule, contact the carrier directly or consult its weekly schedule publication.
How to track a Mauritius Shipping container
Tracking a Mauritius Shipping container starts with confirming the prefix. Look at the container's left-hand corner casting plate or the painted code on the door — the four-letter ISO 6346 owner code is followed by six numeric digits and a single check digit. Blue Water Facts no longer publishes a per-carrier owner-prefix list (see /accuracy/ for why); confirm the operator via the carrier's own tracking portal or your bill of lading. Visit mauritiusshipping.intnet.mu, navigate to the carrier's tracking or "track and trace" portal, and paste the full container number. The portal will return current vessel position, the next scheduled port call, the estimated time of arrival (ETA) and the most recent equipment events such as gate-in, loaded, discharged and gate-out.
If the carrier portal does not return a result, the most likely causes are: the container has not yet been gate-in at the origin terminal, the bill of lading number is in a different format (check whether the system expects an MBL versus an HBL), or the box is moving on a partner alliance vessel rather than a Mauritius Shipping hull. In the last case, the schedule data lives with the operating carrier, not the equipment owner. Mauritius Shipping's customer service can normally cross-reference the booking and route you to the correct alliance partner. Reach the carrier on +230 217 2700 during European business hours.
