Forget container bookings here: Diego Garcia (IO DGA) is a restricted US-UK military atoll base in the Chagos Archipelago, closed to non-authorised traffic. No commercial freight, customs clearance or dangerous-goods handling is available to the open market; the base is resupplied by military logistics and a monthly Schuyler Line service transhipped via Singapore. For ordinary shipments in the wider Indian Ocean, route via Singapore, or use Colombo or Malé as the nearest commercial ports.
