- Description
- St Helena is one of the most remote inhabited islands on Earth, relying on a single monthly sea delivery for food and essential supplies. To secure this vital lifeline, the St Helena Government (SHG), with funding from the UK Government’s FCDO, has successfully commissioned brand-new, heavy-duty cargo-handling equipment at Rupert’s Bay.
In this video, take a look at the assembly and commissioning of the new Kalmar reach stacker and MAFI terminal tractor. Managed by Forkliftcenter and assembled by Right Equipped Solutions (Namibia) alongside local SHG teams, this massive upgrade ensures our monthly supply chain stays safe, efficient, and uninterrupted.

- Romance Scams Awareness
It has recently been brought to the attention of the SHG IT Cyber Security Team that there are cases of romance scams occurring on the Island.
A romance scam involves a scammer pretending to be someone else, by creating a fake online identity or persona, using fake profiles or accounts on popular online dating apps like Tinder, or popular social media platforms like Facebook to make contact with their targets. They do this to lure you into an online romantic relationship, to manipulate you into sending them money. This is also known as catfishing.
Watch the below video for reminders of how to spot and respond to these types of scams.
