Port works

Port works scheduled for Niuas

The work will focus on repairing the loading and unloading areas as well as the docking area, and replacement of bollards and fenders at the jetties on the two islands.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ministry of Infrastructure, Ringo Fa’oliu signed a contract recently with the Managing Director of Puloka Construction, Tevita Puloka for the portworks.

A technical assessment in 2018 identified maritime safety works required in the outer island ports in Ha’apai, Vava’u, Eua and the Niuas to make the ports safe for vessels and the travelling public.
