The situation in Mayotte remains as complicated as ever, here is a gesture of solidarity which should bring a little relief to the inhabitants: 3 tonnes of donations are being transported from Reunion to the perfume island.
At the Port, the delivery of goods was put in place this morning. There we find in particular pallets of puree or hygienic protection.
“It starts above all from those who are going to make the donations, companies, associations, CCAS, town halls, food banks, Red Cross, contact us to be able to take charge of these donations. We will have to coordinate the reception of these donations in the port area where we are located and connect the handlers, connect the shipping company so that we can ensure that these donations can be taken care of. in appropriate container storage and above all prepare for the boarding of future ships. (…) The influx of containers and goods arrives in a significant manner in Mayotte and we see that the port is at its limits in terms of capacity and requires for certain ships to wait a day, two days to wait for space to arrive. dock. We are not at all in a normal natural context, for that we had the mobilization of State services and here I am thinking of customs which was able to mobilize simplified procedures to process all of these donations. But also all port professionals to allow simplified access. The entire port logistics chain has been simplified”explains Philippe Leleu, general manager MTI freight forwarder, president of the maritime union.
The objective for the boat is to leave by Sunday, in total it will transport nearly 1,000 tonnes and will arrive in Mayotte within 4 days.
