Maritime Week Africa (MWAF25), the longest-running and most popular bunkering event on the African continent, is, for the first time in its 16-year history, coming to the beautiful island nation of Mauritius.

From 25-27 March 2025, the movers and shakers of the African marine fuels industry – including key bunker buyers and suppliers, ports, refiners, regulators and other leading maritime professionals – will gather at the Hilton Mauritius to discuss the unique issues and opportunities pertaining to the bunkering industry in Mauritius, in Africa and beyond.

Packed with influential international speakers, the flagship conference will focus on traditional bunkering in Africa and the Indian Ocean, looking at how changing voyage patterns caused by ongoing political tensions in the Red Sea region have been impacting Mauritius – and other refuelling hubs, from South Africa, Namibia and Angola, to the Gulf of Guinea, Cape Verde and the Canary Islands. It will examine whether the recent change in bunker buying patterns is temporary or here to stay, and how suppliers throughout Africa are responding.

The conference will cover the fast-changing geopolitical situation, the blue economy, environmental issues, and international trade, while also looking at how digitalisation is driving change in Africa.

Maritime Week Africa includes some truly spectacular networking events, thanks to Diamond Sponsor TFG Marine and Platinum Sponsor Vivo Energy, and an exclusive tour of Port Louis, the principal port of Mauritius.
