FAMS acquired the DSV Mauritius business in April 2019. All the DSV staff transferred across to FAMS and continuity of business assured through the same premises in the Mauritius Freeport and Sir Seewoosagur International Airport. Concurrently with the acquisition, FAMS signed an exclusive agency agreement to represent DSV across the Indian Ocean Islands region.

UTi commenced operations in Mauritius in 2002 and was acquired by DSV in 2016. Throughout the ownership changes, employees have continued long term, to ensure retention of operational expertise and to provide continuity of customer service.

Today, FAMS delivers a variety of freight logistics services; imports and exports; across the Indian Ocean islands. As examples, specialised project freight knowledge has recently been applied to import and deliver 18 trams to support the Mauritius Tramway project. And FAMS runs its own consolidated ocean freight containers from Madagascar through deliveries across multiple locations in the Far East for the Retail sector.

The company is based in the heart of Port Louis with premises close to the Port and the ocean freight carriers. Post acquisition, FAMS has invested in vehicles to conduct airfreight deliveries, and continues to out-source ocean freight deliveries to vetted specialist transportation companies. From the base in Port Louis, FAMS offers pan Indian Ocean island customs clearance, freight delivery & pick-up solutions, through dedicated Island Traffic Controllers.

FAMS is a member of the Mauritius Export Association and the Professional Association of Freight Forwarders in Mauritius.
