Freight to the Seychelles by sea and air

The Seychelles is a small, high-income island nation built on tourism and fishing, and relies on imports for most goods. Qube Cargo ships to Victoria, Mahé, Praslin and La Digue by sea and air, with container services into Port Victoria.

For urgent cargo, we arrange air freight into Seychelles International Airport. We ship supplies for hotels, resorts and businesses, as well as personal effects.

    Did you know...

    • Seychelles serves as an important maritime route for international shipping. Its location makes it a key waypoint for vessels travelling between Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
    • The main port, Port Victoria, is the heart of Seychelles’ maritime activity. It handles most of the country’s imports and exports, as Seychelles relies heavily on international trade for essential goods and tourism-related supplies.
    • With 115 islands scattered over a vast expanse, Seychelles relies on inter-island shipping for transporting goods, passengers, and essential supplies.
    • Being an island nation, Seychelles faces higher import costs due to its remote location and dependence on sea freight. This impacts the price of goods, making local production of essentials more important.
    • Seychelles has one of the largest tuna canning facilities in the Indian Ocean. Tuna, which is exported primarily to Europe, accounts for a significant portion of the nation’s sea freight activity.

    Trust Qube with Your Seychelles Freight

    Need to send something to Seychelles? Located in the Indian Ocean, Seychelles is an idyllic archipelago of 115 islands celebrated for its stunning beaches, lush landscapes, and vibrant marine life. The history of Seychelles is a tale of exploration, colonisation, and independence, with influences from France and Britain shaping its unique culture. In 1976, Seychelles gained sovereignty, becoming a thriving nation with a rich cultural tapestry.

    It is a sanctuary for rare and unique wildlife, including the iconic giant Aldabra tortoises, found in limited numbers across the globe. The bustling island of Mahé serves as the primary gateway for exploring the Seychelles, and it hosts the capital city, Victoria. Mahé offers a delightful blend of experiences, from the dense mountain rainforests of Morne Seychellois National Park to the sun-kissed shores of beaches like Beau Vallon and Anse Takamaka. The Seychelles’ culture reflects a rich tapestry of influences, including Creole, British, and French, evident in its cuisine, architectural heritage, and lively festivals.

    We will carry out your haulage to Seychelles or back to the UK quickly and securely. We will provide guidance on paperwork and clearing customs, so you won’t have to worry about a thing.
