Inside this issue:
A few words from HD’s newly appointed Director
As we come to the end of the 3rd quarter of 2015 we can reflect on the goings on of what has been a busy 4 months for us at Hunt, Deltel and Co. Ltd and our subsidiaries. The team at DHL have had staff travel to Mauritius for Dangerous Goods training, keeping us at the forefront of air cargo transportation and maintaining our position as the only IATA certified air cargo agent in the country. The ladies in our Intellectual Property department were in South Africa for a regional networking conference hosted by Adams & Adams, comparing notes with their counterparts all over Africa. On the marine leisure front, Eden Island Marina Manager Keith Melon was in Cannes and in Southampton promoting the marina and the Seychelles as a destination. Marcus Naiken, the MD of Express Logistics, was in Finland attending a meeting hosted by the WCO-ESA. Alexandre and Bertrand, two of our shipping assistants, successfully completed Spanish language courses in Sala-manca. On the local scene we have been extremely active. Eden Island Marina and Hunt, Deltel & Co. Ltd hosted the first Seychelles boat show in Marina North for the National Day celebrations. The show was very popular with all who attended and we have had extremely positive feedback from all who exhibited; the Quadrant continues to progress well and is fast becoming a Victoria landmark; this quarter also saw the launch of our new corporate video. We continue to show our commitment to preserving the environment by involving ourselves with local NGOs and by trying to build sustainable practices into our work processes. As you read through this, the latest edition of “Hunt, Deltel Express” I hope you find something that peaks your inter-est and that you enjoy reading it as much as we have enjoyed generating the news contained in its pages.

RCM Training with Maersk
Remote Container Movement software enables us to continuously monitor the status of our reefer cargo. It receives vital information such as temperature,
pressure, plug-in status and alarms. The information is received irrespective of whether a reefer is at sea,
en route or in a terminal.
Business & Service Seminar Held in July by Vimentis, a Swedish Sales & Marketing Company
What was the most valuable piece of advice shared at this seminar?
Claudia said “There is no limit to achieve anything. It is how you bring balance in your life and work, and your mentality towards your goal.
Ian said “Time Management. One needs a balance in life. Within a 24-hour day, 8 hours should be dedicated to work, 8 hours to “play” and
8 hours to sleep to derive maximum benefit in all that we do. This was one of the most interesting seminars hat I have attended so far.”
Staff Training
Shipping Assistants attend Spanish
language school in Salamanca Alexandre Barbier is currently a shipping assistant in the Shipping Op-erations department. He has recently returned to Seychelles following a stay of 8 weeks’ abroad. He tells us of his experience:
On the 3rd of May early this year, I arrived in Spain for the first time. Not only was it my first time travelling on my own, but it was also my first time travelling to a country where the people did not speak a language that I could. Walking out of the airport, I made my way out to the arrivals area where a man from the school I would learn Spanish from was wait-ing for me.
My first memories of Spain were driving through the Spanish countryside to get to the little town of Salamanca. Soon after my arrival I went to pur-chase a SIM card. The fact that almost everyone there spoke exclusively
Spanish meant that this task was very daunting. Throughout my first 3 weeks I used a lot of sign language and if I had access to the internet, a transla-tion program.
I made some great friends towards the end of my first week, a group of Brazil-ians and an Angolan. We went out to partake of the famous bar hopping Spain is well known for. The experience of the Spanish night life has stayed with me as the culture of Spain revolves around having a good time, meeting new peo-ple and of course eating the different dishes native to the country.
Trying out the dishes, I began with the familiar Paella, a Spanish dish well known throughout the world and eventually tried Arroz Negro, a version which uses calamari and it’s ink. Salamanca,is also regarded as the capital of the Jamón Ibérico, a cured ham made from the Black Iberian pig and is consid-ered to be the best in the world.
Through these experiences of going out to the bars and trying out restaurants, I spoke to quite a few local people. Their welcoming smiles and desire to show a foreigner their culture made talking to them all the more easy. Even within my group of friends were a few Spaniards who had been sharing accommoda-tions with people from my school. It was through speaking to the locals as well
as my school mates on a constant basis that truly pushed my understanding of the language. There was also a lot of reading and listening which I did for the most part by visiting museums.
By the last week of my trip, I was speaking enough Spanish to hold a conversation. It was a bit strange to me seeing how I could barely ask for something when I just arrived. I left Spain in late June and made my way back home. I now practice the language on a daily basis with the Spanish representatives and sometimes with fellow colleagues. Also, I sometimes bump into people here who speak the language, so it has opened many new doors to me in the sense that it is now easier for me to meet people. In all, learning the language, experiencing the Spanish culture and meeting many new people has broad-ened my horizons and taught me a lot more than I initially thought I would.

Tell us a bit about your training routine
I swim 9 sessions a week. I swim all the mornings of the week except Thursday and Sunday and all afternoons
except Sunday and Wednesday. We usually do 3 sessions of land work a week as well, this may be gym work, core/cardio work or
reaction practice.
What are the top 3-5 healthy lifestyle rules you follow?
Enough sleep- I try to get to bed early so even if I have to go training the next morn
ing I get at least 6-7 hours (which is amazing for any swimmer who still has school
work to attend to)
A healthy diet- I try as much as possible to stay away from chocolate or anything
fattening. When I’m not swimming, I try to go jogging to not lose my fitness com
pletely.
What is your ultimate goal? To make a final or semifinal at the 2020 Olympics!
You said that despite all the controversy which surrounded the IOIG, for you it
was a good experience. Tell us more about the good times you had. It was amaz-
ing to be with such a great swim team. When I made podium finishes, continuing
to fly the Seychelles flag. It was great being able to mix with all the other islands
and competitors. In the pool we may compete against each other but
outside we’re all great friends.
Please give three words to describe:
How you feel before a race: Nervous, Excited, Determined
How you feel when you win a medal: Proud, Beyond happy no matter the color!
Driven.
How you feel when you haven’t won: As long as I’ve given it my best I’m happy;
Eager to go home and train harder
Sea Turtle Festival 2015 Contributed by the Island Conservation Society
On the 8th of August, Seychelles celebrated the National Sea turtle Conser-
vation at Beau Vallon. The event was an opportunity for the Island Conser-
vation Society (ICS) to raise public awareness on the threats sea turtles
face worldwide and on conservation action within the Seychelles.
The festival overall encourages the general public to take pride in the pro-
tection of this unique species by allowing people to ask questions, play
games and be creative.
The event was a real success; Our knowledgeable staff and volunteers
taught their visitors about turtle biology, their habits and the reason why
they are classified endangered. Interactive games were organized by our
enthusiastic volunteers and winners were awarded great gifts sponsored by
Cable and Wireless, Toy box, Hunt Deltel and Masons.
Children living or visiting Seychelles are truly blessed to experience such a
beautiful place, surrounded by the ocean, home to amazing living crea-
tures. But, are they aware of their luck? During the festival our ICS team
collected a child’s wish list: the children are aware of what is going on with
the sea turtles, they love them and they want turtles to be protected!
Rebecca: “ I wish for turtles to have a
happy life where they can rest safely on
Seychelles beaches”
Chiera: “ I wish for people to not kill
turtles.”

Much food for thought was given during a two-hour awareness workshop on Tuesday 15th September. In
attendance was a healthy mixture of government representatives, the local business community and a
number of environmental NGOs. Lemmy Payet from Land Waste Management Agency and Michele Mar-
tin from S4S gave a comprehensive overview of the current ‘waste situation’ in Seychelles. What followed
was a lively debate on the available recycling outlets and many suggestions and questions from attendees
about what local businesses can do to play their part in reducing, re-using and recycling their waste.
