An Overview of Ports in Fiji
Fiji is located in the South Pacific Ocean, approximately 2,700km from New Zealand and approximately 5,100km from Hawaii. The geographic coordinates of Suva, the capital city, are 18.1248°S, 178.4501°E. The country consists of two main islands (Viti Levu, Vanua Levu) and a large number of smaller islands and uninhabited islets.
An archipelagic nation of 332 islands, of which 110 are inhabited, approximately 65% of Fiji’s population lives on the main island of Viti Levu, near the country’s main ports: Suva and Lautoka. As a result of Viti Levu being the most populated island, Suva and Lautoka are the dominant Ports in Fiji. Cumulatively, they account for about 95% of Fiji’s sea trade volume. These ports handle a variety of cargoes ranging from containers to liquid bulk.

PORT OF SUVA
This is the main international gateway for Fiji and a hub port for the region. The main terminal is at Kings Wharf, with a 492m-long quay accommodating vessels up to 12m draft backed by container storage and cargo sheds.
Port of Suva is a commercial port, handling about 60% of all foreign trade cargoes for Fiji and is one of the two primary import/export ports of the country, along with Lautoka. Port of Suva is a landlord port with just adequate facilities to handle existing cargo throughputs. Port of Suva complies with international operational and security standards.
The Port provides services to container and ro-ro ships, bulk clinker ships, small cargo vessels, fuel tankers, interisland ferries, commercial fishing vessels and passenger cruise liners.

PORT OF LAUTOKA
Port of Lautoka is Fiji’s second commercial port, handling about 40% of all foreign trade cargoes for Fiji and is one of the two primary import/export ports of the country, along with Suva. Port of Lautoka is a landlord port currently with adequate facilities to handle existing cargo throughputs.
Port of Lautoka complies with international operational and security standards. The Port provides services to container and ro-ro ships, small cargo vessels, fuel tankers, inter-island ferries, and commercial fishing vessels.
Lautoka – Vuda Point Petroleum Terminal - this terminal comprises a single offshore mooring with four mooring buoys and a pair of discharge manifolds leading to a pair of discharge pipelines leading to the onshore tank farms. There are three separate tank farms, operated by Pacific Energy, Total and Mobil. These three companies operate and maintain the facility at Vuda Point with little or no involvement from FPCL.

PORT OF LEVUKA
Located on the island of Ovalau, this port was historically significant as a commercial port but is now largely limited to fish landing, processing and inter-island passenger / ferry services.
The location of Port of Levuka is: latitude 17º 41’ 12” south, longitude 178º 50’ 12” east. The British Admiralty Chart 1244 shows the port located within a protective reef to the east, with an approach channel about 1,200 m offshore, with a navigable channel width of 200 m and a depth of at least 12m.

PORT OF MALAU
The Port of Malau is located at: latitude 16º 21’ 40” south, longitude 179º 22’ 00” east. The approach trestle is 175m in length, with a navigable depth at the berth of 11.5m below CD. Malau is a dedicated bulk sugar, molasses and petroleum products port, located near the city of Labasa on the north-west coast of the island of Vanua Levu. For loading bulk sugar and molasses, Fiji Sugar Corporation operates a dedicated berth with a conveyor and bulk loader. Their onshore facilities include a large sugar storage shed and three molasses tanks. For discharging petroleum products, the three petroleum companies (Pacific Energy, Total and Mobil) operate a small tank farm and a set of mooring buoys for discharge via an undersea pipeline.
FPCL provides pilotage and channels but does not have direct responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the sugar and petroleum berths and facilities.

PORT OF WAIRIKI
Port of Wairiki is located on the south-west coastline of Vanua Levu and provides a dedicated woodchip loading facility for Tropik Wood Products Limited. The facility commenced operation in 2012.
Wairiki is located at: latitude 16º 56’ 26” south, longitude 178º 39’ 35” east. The approach trestle is 350m in length, with a navigable depth at the berth of 12m below CD.
Since the facility is located on the south-west side of Vanua Levu, it is sheltered from the prevailing northwesterly winds and wave climate. Additional protection is afforded by intermittent fringing reef offshore from the facility.

PORT OF ROTUMA
O’inafa is a small port, servicing the remote island of Rotuma located at latitude 12º 30’ 28” south, longitude 177º 05’ 05 east. The island lies approximately 345 nautical miles north of Suva. O’inafa Port falls under FPCL’s jurisdiction but recent capital and maintenance works have been funded and implemented under private contract managed by Fiji Roads Authority.
