Yacht Club Boat Landing Area Undergoes Major Cleanup, Security and Management improved

Solomon Ports has undertaken a major cleanup and regulation exercise at the Yacht Club boat landing area, formally known as Mbokona Bay, as part of ongoing efforts to improve the cleanliness, safety, security and overall management of the facility. The boat landing area is an important access point for small boat operators and passengers travelling to and from nearby islands and communities, including Savo, Isabel, Ngella, East and West Guadalcanal, and Malaita Province. Over recent weeks, Solomon Ports has removed abandoned and derelict boats from the area, including some boats that are believed to have remained at the site for more than 10 years. The removal has helped clear the area and create a safer and more organised environment for boat operators and users. The cleanup also involved the removal of accumulated rubbish and waste from the area. Solomon Ports has simultaneously strengthened security and management measures to address activities that are not permitted within the facility, including informal market stalls, betel nut selling, alcohol sales and consumption, and other unauthorised or illegal activities. With the cleanup now substantially completed, the area is being more closely regulated to ensure it remains clean, safe, secure and properly managed for the benefit of all users. As part of the new management arrangements, the temporary operating hours for the boat landing area are currently 4:00am to 6:00pm daily. These hours may be reviewed and adjusted in the future depending on operational requirements and the ongoing management of the facility. Solomon Ports Assistant Property Manager, Mr. Augustine Waleka, has urged boat operators, passengers and other users of the Yacht Club area to cooperate with Solomon Ports and help maintain the improvements that have been made. “We want to make it clear that we are not stopping people from using this important area. This cleanup and regulation exercise is about better managing the facility and ensuring that it is safe, secure and properly maintained in accordance with appropriate marine and port standards,” Mr. Waleka said. “Solomon Ports has future plans for this area to improve the facilities and infrastructure, provide a safer and more suitable environment for boats to land, strengthen waste management and ensure that people can use the area properly and safely,” he said. Solomon Ports will continue working towards improving the standard of its facilities and services while ensuring that important public and maritime access points are maintained for the communities and users who depend on them. We call on all users of the Mbokona Bay boat landing area to take responsibility for keeping the facility clean, following the operating requirements and cooperating with security and port personnel to ensure the area remains safe and accessible to everyone.

所罗门港口公司在游艇俱乐部船只登岸区(正式称为Mbokona湾)进行了大规模清理和管理规范,这是改善设施清洁、安全、安保和整体管理的持续努力的一部分。船只登岸区是小型船只运营商和乘客往返附近岛屿和社区(包括萨沃岛、伊莎贝尔岛、恩杰拉岛、东瓜达尔卡纳尔和西瓜达尔卡纳尔以及马莱塔省)的重要通道。在最近几周,所罗门港口公司已从该区域移除了被遗弃和破旧的船只,包括一些据信在该地点停留超过10年的船只。此次清理有助于清理区域,为船只运营商和用户创造一个更安全和更有序的环境。清理工作还涉及从该区域移除积累的垃圾和废物。所罗门港口公司同时加强了安全和管理措施,以应对在设施内不允许的活动,包括非正式市场摊位、槟榔销售、酒精销售和消费以及其他未经授权或非法活动。随着清理工作基本完成,该区域正在更严格地进行管理,以确保其保持清洁、安全、安保和妥善管理,以造福所有用户。作为新管理安排的一部分,船只登岸区的临时营业时间目前为每天上午4:00至下午6:00。这些时间可能会根据运营需求和设施的持续管理进行审查和调整。所罗门港口公司助理物业经理奥古斯丁·瓦莱卡(Mr. Augustine Waleka)呼吁船只运营商、乘客和其他游艇俱乐部区域的用户与所罗门港口公司合作,帮助维护已取得的改善。 “我们想明确表示,我们并不是要阻止人们使用这个重要区域。这次清理和管理工作是为了更好地管理设施,确保其安全、安保和妥善维护,符合适当的海洋和港口标准,”瓦莱卡先生说。 “所罗门港口公司对该区域有未来的规划,以改善设施和基础设施,提供一个更安全和更适合船只登岸的环境,加强废物管理,确保人们能够安全和妥当地使用该区域,”他说。所罗门港口公司将继续致力于提高其设施和服务的标准,同时确保重要的公共和海事通道为依赖它们的社区和用户保持畅通。我们呼吁所有使用Mbokona湾船只登岸区的用户对保持设施清洁负责,遵循运营要求,并与安全和港口人员合作,以确保该区域对所有人保持安全和可达。结束///
