The Seychelles, an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, off East Africa, home to numerous idyllic beaches, coral reefs and nature reserves, through its President Wavel Ramkalawan has officially inaugurated the Even Island Marine Fuelling Station on Praslin, the second largest island of the Inner Seychelles northeast of Mahé to advance blue economy.
This key infrastructure development represents a milestone and a new chapter for the African country aimed at strengthening marine transport and supporting the island nation's economy.
Even Island Marine Fuelling Station will enhance fuelling capacity for boat charter operators and fishing vessels operating across the inner islands, providing reliable logistical support for both the fisheries sector and inter - island marine services.
The opening of the fuelling station on Praslin island is part of broader government efforts to modernise maritime infrastructure essential to economic stability.
Speaking at the launch of Even Island Fuelling Station, Fisheries and Blue Economy Minister Jean - François Ferrari highlighted the project's alignment with national goals for sector resilience and growth.
With improved fuel access expected to ease operational pressures on local marine operators, the new facility is poised to boost regional connectivity, trade, and livelihoods across Praslin and neigbouring islands of the African archipelago.
