Looking Ahead
The Pyxis Shipping Line Company has been in operation for almost four decades. Since their first vessel was launched in 1983 by founder Theo Alexis, the company has provided regular sea freight services with the original Alexia 1, 2, 3 and 4 and later the Amelia 1, 2, 3 and 4. Now with their newest vessel; the Tyrell Bay Express, they look forward to providing increasingly innovative and luxurious on sea transportation services to the Grenadian public for many more years to come.
