Official snapshot
Daily Port Situation
The Mauritius Ports Authority publishes dated port-situation files. Each file is a time-stamped record, not a live control screen.
Open MPA Daily Port Situation ↗← Dockyard.mu
Shipping & ports · Mauritius & Rodrigues
Shipping, made easier to navigate.
A source-led starting point for Port Louis, Port Mathurin and the work around them: official documents, external vessel trackers, licensed port-service lists and the Mauritius–Rodrigues connection.
Source boundary: Dockyard is not a port authority, shipping agent, vessel tracker or bunker supplier. It does not confirm a ship’s location, berth, ETA, licence status, capacity, price or operational readiness.
Start with the information type
Three ways into the shipping side.
Choose whether you need an official snapshot, an external AIS tool or an operator’s own service information. These sources are not interchangeable.
External AIS
Port Louis tracking
Independent AIS tools provide their own map, data coverage and access conditions. Dockyard does not operate these trackers.

Mauritius–Rodrigues
For passenger and cargo services between Port Louis and Rodrigues, check the operator’s own current information.
Open MSCL marine services ↗Port reference
Port Louis and Port Mathurin.
Both ports have a place here, but the public source trail differs. Follow original publishers for time-sensitive operational information.
MUPLU · Port Louis
Official records, reports and external AIS
Use the MPA Daily Port Situation for dated official files; use the MPA document library for reports and statistics; use external AIS tools for their own tracking view.
MUPMA · Port Mathurin
Rodrigues context, island link and external tracking
Use the MPA for Port Mathurin context, MSCL for its own service information, and independent tracking tools with appropriate coverage caution.
Shipping reference library
Read the original material.
Every link below points to its publisher and is labelled by source type. Dockyard does not rank or endorse operators through this reference list.

Visit original source ↗How this page works
A navigator, not a control room.
Official documents are dated snapshots. AIS screens are independent services whose reception, timing and access rules are outside Dockyard. Operator details remain the operator’s responsibility. For cargo, a voyage, safety, clearance or supply decision, use the original publisher and contact the relevant operator directly.
Shipping agents, ship chandlers, marine and cargo surveyors, bunker-barge operators and related services should be verified at the MPA port-operators register. Bunkering requirements should be confirmed with the relevant supplier through the MPA bunkering information.
For shipping businesses
Make your maritime work findable.
Port-service, logistics, survey, technical, agency and vessel-support businesses can open a public profile to make their own official site and contact route easier to find. Licensing remains verifiable with the relevant authority.
