Minister Laporte concludes La Digue visit with engagement at SPA pier and terminal

The Minister for Transport, Ports and Civil Aviation, Veronique Laporte, concluded her official visit to La Digue on Saturday with a visit to the Seychelles Ports Authority pier and La Digue terminal, where she engaged with staff and familiarised herself with their working environment.

The visit provided an opportunity for the minister to interact with staff on duty, hear their concerns and identify areas where improvements to working conditions and facilities may be necessary.

Discussions also covered transport services on the island, including operational matters and issues affecting their delivery.

Minister Laporte said she would dedicate more time to meeting Seychelles Ports Authority (SPA) staff during her next visit to La Digue, which is expected before the end of the year in connection with the proclamation of roads and other road-related matters.

The follow-up visit will allow her to revisit the concerns raised during today's engagement and meet other staff members who were not on duty, allowing them to share their views and highlight their needs.
