Cook Islands Aerial Surveillance Programme Renewed
Release – 01July2026, Wellington, New Zealand
Maintaining eyes over our ocean is a critical role the Ministry of Marine Resources (MMR) plays in safeguarding our ocean resources. This includes the use of aerial surveillance aircraft. ...
The ASP is a regional initiative coordinated by FFA to enhance maritime domain awareness and strengthen fisheries compliance across the Pacific. The programme deploys specially equipped surveillance aircraft and trained personnel to undertake aerial patrols that support member countries in monitoring fishing activity, identifying potential illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, and collecting intelligence to inform national monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) operations.
After initially joining in 2021, the renewed MoU provides the Cook Islands a continuing governance framework for access to aerial surveillance services, enabling trained personnel to conduct aerial patrols and collect data that directly supports national fisheries monitoring and enforcement efforts led by the Ministry of Marine Resources.
This data enhances national surveillance capability and strengthens the safeguarding of marine resources and effective ocean governance. It improves situational awareness, informs national risk assessments, and guides the strategic deployment of surface patrol assets, thereby strengthening the effectiveness of compliance and enforcement operations in partnership with line agencies. It also supports the timely identification of vessels involved in fisheries offences and other transnational crime within the Cook Islands’ Exclusive Economic Zone.
Speaking on the signing of this MoU, the Honourable Tingika Elikana said the renewal reflects the Cook Islands’ commitment to the National Sustainable Development Agenda (NSDA) Priority 11: Sustainable Management of Oceans, Lagoons and Marine Resources, and the importance of continued regional cooperation in safeguarding the nation’s ocean estate: “This agreement ensures we retain access to vital aerial surveillance capability that strengthens our ability to monitor our waters, deter illegal activity, and protect the long-term sustainability of our marine resources. It reinforces our commitment to responsible ocean stewardship and demonstrates the value of strong regional partnerships delivering practical outcomes for the Cook Islands and the wider Pacific.” END.

维护我们海洋的监视是海洋资源部(MMR)在保护海洋资源方面发挥的关键角色。这包括使用空中监视飞机...
空中监视计划(ASP)是由太平洋渔业署(FFA)协调的区域性倡议,旨在增强海洋领域意识并加强太平洋地区的渔业合规。该计划部署专门装备的监视飞机和训练有素的人员进行空中巡逻,支持成员国监测渔业活动,识别潜在的非法、未报告和无管制(IUU)捕鱼行为,并收集情报以支持国家监测、控制和监视(MCS)行动。
在2021年首次加入后,续签的谅解备忘录为库克群岛提供了持续的治理框架,以获取空中监视服务,使训练有素的人员能够进行空中巡逻并收集直接支持国家渔业监测和执法工作的数据。
这些数据增强了国家监视能力,加强了海洋资源的保护和有效的海洋治理。它提高了情境意识,通知国家风险评估,并指导表面巡逻资产的战略部署,从而加强与相关机构合作的合规和执法行动的有效性。它还支持及时识别涉及渔业违法行为和其他跨国犯罪的船只在库克群岛专属经济区内的活动。
在签署该谅解备忘录时,尊敬的廷基卡·埃利卡纳表示,续签反映了库克群岛对国家可持续发展议程(NSDA)优先事项11:可持续管理海洋、泻湖和海洋资源的承诺,以及在保护国家海洋资产方面继续区域合作的重要性:“该协议确保我们保留获取重要空中监视能力的渠道,增强我们监测水域、威慑非法活动和保护海洋资源长期可持续性的能力。它加强了我们对负责任海洋管理的承诺,并展示了强有力的区域伙伴关系为库克群岛和更广泛的太平洋地区带来切实成果的价值。” 结束。

The Solomon Islands Ports Authority (Solomon Ports) has officially launched its first-ever 'Shipping Schedule Hub App', a revolutionary digital platform designed to provide the public with real-time information on domestic shipping vessel movements across Solomon Islands.
The launch represents a major milestone in Solomon Ports' digital transformation journey and reinforces the Authority's commitment to modernising maritime services, improving customer experience, and enhancing connectivity between Honiara and the provinces.
With the introduction of the Shipping Schedule Hub App, Solomon Ports becomes only the second Port Authority in the Pacific region, after the Guam Port Authority, to develop and launch a dedicated domestic shipping mobile application.
Development of the App commenced in 2025 following extensive consultations with domestic shipping operators and key stakeholders to ensure the platform would meet the needs of passengers, vessel operators, and the wider public. The project also involved securing approval from Google to publish the application on the Google Play Store.
The Shipping Schedule Hub App is the first application of its kind in Solomon Islands, providing passengers with convenient access to domestic vessel schedules and essential travel information directly from their Android mobile devices.
Through the App, users can access up-to-date shipping schedules, receive notifications of vessel delays and cancellations, view general announcements and Solomon Ports press releases, and obtain important safety information before travelling. Additional features include service information, safety guidelines, contact details for customer enquiries, a news section, and a feedback platform that enables users to communicate directly with Solomon Ports.
A soft launch and press conference were held today at the Solomon Ports Auditorium at the Authority's headquarters in Honiara. The event was attended by representatives from the media, domestic shipping operators, government stakeholders, and Solomon Ports staff.
Guests were given a live demonstration of the App's features, including how passengers can download, navigate, and access real-time shipping information.
Speaking during the launch, Solomon Ports Chief Information Officer Mr. Ellison Pade said the application reflects the Authority's continued investment in digital innovation and its commitment to improving domestic shipping services for all Solomon Islanders.
The Shipping Schedule Hub App represents a new era for domestic maritime services in Solomon Islands. By placing essential shipping information directly into the hands of passengers, we are improving accessibility, enhancing customer experience, and supporting safer and more efficient travel throughout our islands."
Mr. Pade said the App is a practical solution to one of the long-standing challenges faced by travellers—accessing reliable and timely shipping information.
"For many years, passengers have relied on word of mouth or multiple enquiries to obtain vessel schedules. This App provides a single, reliable source of information, making it easier for people to plan their travel and stay informed about schedule changes."
The Shipping Schedule Hub App forms part of Solomon Ports' broader vision of embracing technology to improve operational efficiency and customer service while supporting national development through smarter maritime infrastructure.
The application is currently available free of charge for 'Android devices' and can be downloaded from the 'Google Play Store' by searching "Shipping Schedule Hub." Users may also access domestic shipping schedules through the Solomon Ports website at [www.sipa.com.sb](http://www.sipa.com.sb).
Solomon Ports encourages all domestic travellers, shipping operators, and members of the public to download the App and experience a new, more convenient way of accessing shipping information.
The launch of the Shipping Schedule Hub App marks the beginning of a new chapter in the digital transformation of Solomon Islands' maritime sector, demonstrating Solomon Ports' continued commitment to delivering safe, efficient, and innovative services for the nation.

Press Release No.16.2026 - CBSI LAUNCHES COMMEMORATIVE $50 BANKNOTE TO MARK GOLDEN JUBILEE
The Central Bank of Solomon Islands (CBSI) has officially released a new, limited-edition $50 commemorative banknote to celebrate its historic 50th Golden Jubilee.
The banknote was officially launched at the Heritage Park Hotel Conference Room in the presence of distinguished guests, financial sector leaders, and the CBSI Board of Directors. Prime Minister Honourable Mathew Cooper Wale and Minister for Finance and Treasury Honourable Gordon Darcy Lilo headlined the event.
Declaring the new banknote legal tender, Minister Gordon Darcy Lilo remarked that the note marks a monumental milestone in CBSI’s history. He emphasized that the banknote reflects the resilience, progressive evolution, and modernization of the Central Bank’s functions and responsibilities.
CBSI Governor Dr. Luke Forau welcomed the release, noting its deeper significance for the nation.
“This banknote represents not only a historic milestone for the Central Bank, but also its creativity, resilience, and progressive development,” Governor Forau stated. “It recognizes the economic contributions of all sectors and individuals who work together to strengthen and prosper our culturally diverse nation.”
He added: “As we commemorate this historic Golden Jubilee, it is fitting that our commemorative banknote reflects the strength and unity of our shared values. By featuring the journey from traditional to modern money alongside the CBSI building, we honor qualities that can inspire future generations and contribute meaningfully to our socio-economic development over the next 50 years and beyond.”
Key Features of the Banknote
The commemorative $50 banknote maintains the familiar size, green color palette, and core artistic patterns of the existing circulating $50 paper note, but introduces advanced polymer technology and updated security elements:
Substrate & Front Design: Printed on a durable polymer substrate, the front incorporates a striking new transparent window featuring the head of an eagle and the text “CBSI 50” positioned above the official CBSI Bokolo logo.
Reverse Design: The back of the note features the Central Bank building and visually illustrates the historical evolution of currency in the Solomon Islands tracing the timeline from traditional shell money to modern digital payments.
Produced in limited quantities, this commemorative note is expected to become a highly valued collector’s item and a cornerstone of the Solomon Islands’ numismatic heritage. CBSI encourages members of the public to handle the new note with care to preserve its cleanliness and durability.
The polymer $50 commemorative banknote is now available to the public through commercial banks and ATMs nationwide. As part of its commitment to financial literacy, CBSI will roll out public educational materials regarding the security features via its official website and public outreach programs.

Solomon Islands Ports Authority (Solomon Ports) today marked another significant milestone in its infrastructure development programme with the official commissioning of the new Kulabule Jetty , a 50-metre domestic jetty constructed at the Honiara Domestic Port.
The facility was officially commissioned by the Minister for Infrastructure Development, Hon. Ricky Fuo’o , who attended the ceremony as Guest of Honour alongside representatives from the domestic shipping industry, government agencies, development partners, and Solomon Ports staff.
The new jetty has been named Kulabule Jetty in honour of the late Captain Judah Kulabule , a highly respected former Harbour Master whose dedicated service and leadership contributed significantly to the development of the maritime sector and port operations in Solomon Islands. The naming recognises his lasting legacy and commitment to advancing maritime services for the nation.
Constructed at a total cost of approximately SBD$28 million , the project was fully funded by Solomon Ports and delivered by the organisation's own engineers, technical personnel, and project management team.
Speaking during the commissioning ceremony, Guest of Honour Hon. Ricky Fuo’o described the completion of the project as a testament to the organisation's growing technical capability and commitment to self-reliance.
"This project demonstrates that Solomon Ports possesses the expertise, skills, and capacity to successfully deliver major infrastructure developments using our own people and resources. The completion of Kulabule Jetty is not only an investment in port infrastructure but also an investment in local capability and national development," he said.
The new jetty is expected to significantly improve operations at the Honiara Domestic Port by increasing available berthing space for domestic vessels, reducing congestion, improving vessel turnaround times, and enhancing safety for both operators and port users.
As the primary gateway for domestic maritime transport, the Honiara Domestic Port plays a critical role in facilitating the movement of passengers and cargo throughout the country. The additional berth capacity provided by Kulabule Jetty will support the growing demands of domestic shipping services and strengthen connectivity between Honiara and the provinces.
Minister Fuo’o commended Solomon Ports for its commitment to infrastructure development and for demonstrating leadership in delivering a project of national importance through local expertise.
He noted that investments in maritime infrastructure are essential to supporting economic growth, improving transportation services, and enhancing access to markets and opportunities for communities throughout Solomon Islands.
The commissioning of Kulabule Jetty forms part of Solomon Ports' broader strategy to modernise and expand port infrastructure in response to increasing demand for maritime transport services and growing trade activity.
The project also aligns with Solomon Ports' long-term commitment to improving operational efficiency, strengthening domestic shipping services, and supporting national development priorities through sustainable infrastructure investment.
Solomon Ports extends its appreciation to all staff, engineers, contractors, stakeholders, and partners who contributed to the successful completion of the project.
The completion of Kulabule Jetty stands as a lasting symbol of innovation, self-reliance, and Solomon Ports' continued commitment to serving the people of Solomon Islands through safe, efficient, and modern port facilities.

在启用仪式上,贵宾荣誉的里基·福奥(Hon. Ricky Fuo’o)表示,该项目的完成证明了该组织日益增长的技术能力和自力更生的承诺。
“这个项目展示了所罗门港口拥有成功交付重大基础设施发展的专业知识、技能和能力,能够利用我们自己的人员和资源。库拉布尔码头的完成不仅是对港口基础设施的投资,也是对地方能力和国家发展的投资,”他说。
新码头预计将显著改善霍尼亚拉国内港口的运营,通过增加国内船只的可用停泊空间、减少拥堵、提高船只周转时间,并增强操作人员和港口用户的安全性。
作为国内海上运输的主要门户,霍尼亚拉国内港口在促进全国范围内乘客和货物的流动中发挥着关键作用。库拉布尔码头提供的额外泊位容量将支持国内航运服务日益增长的需求,并加强霍尼亚拉与各省之间的连接。
福奥部长赞扬所罗门港口在基础设施发展方面的承诺,并在通过地方专业知识交付国家重要项目方面展现了领导力。
他指出,对海事基础设施的投资对于支持经济增长、改善运输服务以及增强各社区进入市场和机会的能力至关重要。
库拉布尔码头的启用是所罗门港口更广泛战略的一部分,旨在现代化和扩展港口基础设施,以应对对海上运输服务和日益增长的贸易活动的需求。
该项目还与所罗门港口长期致力于提高运营效率、加强国内航运服务以及通过可持续基础设施投资支持国家发展优先事项的承诺相一致。
所罗门港口对所有参与项目成功完成的员工、工程师、承包商、利益相关者和合作伙伴表示感谢。
库拉布尔码头的完成将作为创新、自力更生的持久象征,以及所罗门港口继续致力于通过安全、高效和现代的港口设施服务所罗门群岛人民的承诺。

Solomon Ports is pleased to announce the official unveiling of its 70th Anniversary Logo, marking 70 years of service as the nation’s sole ports authority.
The unveiling ceremony was held today at the Solomon Ports Head Office, where the logo designer, Mr. Jared Devesi, formally presented the winning design to the Chairman of the Staff Engagement Committee, Mr. George Fiuramo.
The logo was selected following a design competition conducted over the past two weeks by the Staff Engagement Committee, which is responsible for coordinating Solomon Ports’ 70th Anniversary celebrations this year.
The competition attracted more than 30 submissions, all of which underwent a thorough screening process before the winning design was selected. The logo features a bold typographic design forming the number “70”, styled to reflect the Solomon Islands national flag, symbolising Solomon Ports’ role as the country’s sole ports authority for seven decades. Incorporated into the design is a silhouette of the recently constructed Millennium Terminal, seamlessly fused with the bow of a modern freighter and overlaid with traditional Solomon Islands motifs. This combination reflects the organisation’s strong local identity while highlighting its role in driving national development.
The outer circular form resembles a compass, portraying Solomon Ports as the economic lifeline of the country and symbolising direction, progress, and connectivity. The use of silver represents the milestone of 70 years, recognised as a platinum anniversary.
The wave elements at the base of the design slope from left to right, illustrating the port’s evolution from a simpl e colonial-era wharf to the modern port authority it is today. Speaking during the unveiling, Staff Engagement Committee Chairman Mr. George Fiuramo thanked Mr. Devesi for his dedication and effort in producing the winning design.
He said the final submission clearly demonstrated thorough research and creative insight into the history and future of Solomon Ports. “The design truly captures the essence of what we were looking for — a logo that reflects the history, significance, and future of Solomon Ports and its service to the people of this country,” Mr. Fiuramo said.
In response, Mr. Devesi expressed his gratitude to the committee for recognising his work, noting that he spent considerable time researching Solomon Ports before developing the design. He also shared that this was his first time winning such an award, despite having worked in graphic design for several years.
The 70th Anniversary Logo will be featured throughout the year on official merchandise, email signatures, publications, vehicle decals, and prominently during the anniversary celebrations on 4 June 2026.
Solomon Ports also extends its sincere appreciation to all artists and designers who participated in the logo competition and thanks them for their time, creativity, and contributions.

揭晓仪式于今天在所罗门港口总部举行,标志设计师贾里德·德维西(Mr. Jared Devesi)正式向员工参与委员会主席乔治·菲乌拉莫(Mr. George Fiuramo)呈现获胜设计。
该标志是在过去两周内由员工参与委员会组织的设计竞赛中选出的,该委员会负责协调所罗门港口今年的70周年庆祝活动。
竞赛吸引了超过30份提交作品,所有作品都经过严格筛选,最终选出获胜设计。该标志采用大胆的字体设计,形成数字“70”,样式反映所罗门群岛国旗,象征着所罗门港口作为国家唯一港口管理机构的七十年历史。设计中融入了最近建成的千年码头的轮廓,与现代货轮的船头无缝融合,并叠加了传统的所罗门群岛图案。这种结合反映了该组织强烈的地方身份,同时突显其在推动国家发展中的作用。
外部圆形结构类似于指南针,描绘了所罗门港口作为国家经济生命线的形象,象征着方向、进步和连接。银色的使用代表70年的里程碑,被视为铂金周年纪念。
设计底部的波浪元素从左到右倾斜,展示了港口从简单的殖民时代码头演变为今天现代港口管理机构的过程。在揭晓仪式上,员工参与委员会主席乔治·菲乌拉莫(Mr. George Fiuramo)感谢德维西先生在制作获胜设计方面的奉献和努力。
他说,最终提交的作品清晰地展示了对所罗门港口历史和未来的深入研究和创造性见解。“这个设计真正捕捉了我们所寻找的本质——一个反映所罗门港口历史、重要性和未来以及其对本国人民服务的标志,”菲乌拉莫先生说。
作为回应,德维西先生对委员会认可他的工作表示感谢,并指出他在设计之前花了相当多的时间研究所罗门港口。他还分享说,这是他第一次获得这样的奖项,尽管他在平面设计领域工作了多年。
70周年纪念标志将在整个年度内出现在官方商品、电子邮件签名、出版物、车辆贴纸上,并在2026年6月4日的周年庆祝活动中显著展示。
所罗门港口还对所有参与标志竞赛的艺术家和设计师表示诚挚的感谢,感谢他们的时间、创造力和贡献。

As we close another successful year, Solomon Ports proudly celebrates the remarkable journey of one of our longest-serving staff members — Martin Suba, who clocked in for the final time today after 39 years of dedicated service.
Originally from Olevugha Village in the Central Islands Province, Martin joined SIPA in 1986 as a junior clerk. Over the years, he worked across several operational roles — including warehouse and tally clerk — before moving into the Sea Container Hygiene System (SCHS) team, where he rose to become Senior Supervisor.
A man of few words and soft-spoken by nature, Martin recalled that when he first joined SIPA in 1986, there was only one international wharf and far fewer containers to handle compared to the busy operations of today.
“I then moved into various roles within the operations department. I worked in the warehouse, as a tally clerk, and eventually joined SCHS — where I am now a senior supervisor,” he said.
Martin has been through many of the major developments at the port over the past three decades, witnessing significant transformation. He noted that container volumes have increased, which he attributes to the hard work and productivity of SIPA staff.
“I have really enjoyed my time here — the friends and colleagues I’ve worked with over the years. One thing I enjoy most is meeting new people and working alongside others, especially with the Biosecurity team, to ensure all containers are cleaned and up to standard.”
This year, Martin and his SCHS team received the Team of the Year Award for the Operations Department in the inaugural Solomon Ports Staff Awards — recognition supported by their strong performance, including achieving a 5% intervention rate, a key biosecurity benchmark highlighted in a recent quarterly report by the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. Martin played a leading role in helping his team maintain these standards.
Now that he is retiring, Martin said he has encouraged his team to continue upholding the high standards he leaves behind, and he is confident they will do a good job.
“Although we face challenges, I want my team to work together and ensure we remain one of the top SCHS facilities among Pacific ports,” he said.
“My advice, and the lesson I’ve learned during my time at SIPA, is to be patient, loyal to the company, and follow the rules. These values helped sustain me all these years, and I encourage new staff to do the same.”
When asked about his future plans, Martin said he intends to return to Olevugha Village in the Central Islands Province to start a tourism business.
His colleagues are preparing a farewell event to formally bid him goodbye at a later date.
Solomon Ports sincerely thanks Martin for his 39 years of committed service and wishes him well in his future endeavours.
随着我们结束又一个成功的年度,所罗门港口自豪地庆祝我们其中一位任职时间最长的员工——马丁·苏巴(Martin Suba)的非凡旅程,他在经过39年的奉献服务后,今天最后一次打卡。
马丁来自中央岛省的奥列武哈村(Olevugha Village),1986年以初级文员身份加入所罗门港口管理局(SIPA)。多年来,他在多个运营岗位上工作——包括仓库和计数文员——然后转入海运集装箱卫生系统(SCHS)团队,最终晋升为高级主管。
马丁性格内向,言语不多,他回忆起1986年刚加入SIPA时,只有一个国际码头,处理的集装箱数量远不及今天繁忙的运营。
“我随后在运营部门的不同岗位上工作。我在仓库工作,担任计数文员,最终加入SCHS——现在我是一名高级主管,”他说。
在过去三十年中,马丁经历了港口的许多重大变化,见证了显著的转型。他指出,集装箱的数量有所增加,这归功于SIPA员工的辛勤工作和高效生产力。
“我在这里的时光真的很愉快——与我多年来一起工作的朋友和同事。我最享受的一件事就是结识新朋友,与他人合作,特别是与生物安全团队合作,确保所有集装箱都经过清洗并符合标准。”
今年,马丁和他的SCHS团队在首届所罗门港口员工奖中获得了运营部门年度团队奖——这一认可得益于他们的出色表现,包括实现5%的干预率,这是澳大利亚农业、渔业和林业部最近季度报告中强调的关键生物安全基准。马丁在帮助团队维持这些标准方面发挥了重要作用。
现在他即将退休,马丁表示他鼓励团队继续保持他所留下的高标准,并对他们的表现充满信心。
“虽然我们面临挑战,但我希望我的团队团结合作,确保我们在太平洋港口中仍然是顶尖的SCHS设施之一,”他说。
“我的建议,以及我在SIPA期间学到的教训,就是要有耐心,对公司忠诚,遵循规则。这些价值观帮助我坚持了这么多年,我鼓励新员工也这样做。”
当被问及未来计划时,马丁表示他打算回到中央岛省的奥列武哈村,开办一家旅游业务。
他的同事们正在准备一个告别活动,以便在稍后的时间正式向他道别。
所罗门港口衷心感谢马丁39年来的奉献服务,并祝愿他在未来的事业中一切顺利。
The Solomon Islands Ports Authority (SIPA), trading as Solomon Ports, today marked a significant milestone with the official groundbreaking ceremony for the redevelopment of International Terminal Berth 1 at Honiara Port.
The ceremony was officiated by the Prime Minister Hon. Jeremiah Manele, and attended by government Ministers, Key Stakeholders, diplomatics corps, provincial and city leaders, traditional leaders development partners.
The Berth 1 redevelopment is being delivered under the Land and Maritime Connectivity Project, with funding support from the Asian Development Bank. The construction contract has been awarded to China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) and represents one of the most significant infrastructure investments in the history of Solomon Ports and the country’s maritime sector.
Speaking at the ceremony, SIPA Chairman Mr. Moses Virivolomo said the project reflects the national commitment to strengthening Solomon Islands’ primary gateway for international trade.
“Honiara Port is the lifeline of our economy, connecting the capital to the provinces and hundreds of islands across the country. This redevelopment is critical to ensuring our port remains safe, efficient, and capable of meeting future trade demands,” Mr. Virivolomo said.
The redevelopment focuses on improving operational efficiency through modern cargo-handling systems, advanced IT and security infrastructure, and better logistics flow, while enhancing safety and compliance with international standards. It also promotes environmental sustainability through green port principles and energy-efficient systems, enables future expansion to accommodate growing cargo volumes, and ensures value for money through cost-effective and durable design solutions.
In his keynote speech, Chief Guest , the Hon. Prime Minister Hon. Jeremiah Manele said the redevelopment of Berth 1 is of strategic importance to the country’s economy, trade and future development.
PM Manele said this was an investment in national productivity and economic resilience, and that the government recognises that strong infrastructure must be supported.
He said the rehabilitation of the berth 1 comes at a critical time as Honiara Ports faces challenges as container volumes continue to rise, alongside population growth and economic expansion.
“The rehabilitation of berth 1 must be viewed as part of a broader national port development vision , one that integrates infrastructure investments , modern legislation , sound SOE Governance , urban planning , and private sector growth,” he said.
“The government remains committed to working with SIPA to ensure our ports are safe and resilient , efficient and competitive, and governed by legislation that reflects the realities of a modern society.”
Once completed, the redevelopment is expected to significantly increase cargo throughput, reduce vessel turnaround times, lower long-term maintenance costs, and strengthen Honiara Port’s competitiveness within the Pacific region.
Solomon Ports wishes to express appreciation to the Government of Solomon Islands, the Ministry of Infrastructure Development, the Ministry of Finance and Treasury, the Asian Development Bank, and CCECC for their continued support and partnership. We remain committed in working together to successfully complete this landmark project.
所罗门群岛港口管理局(SIPA),以所罗门港口(Solomon Ports)名义,今天举行了国际码头1号泊位改建工程的正式奠基仪式,标志着一个重要的里程碑。
仪式由总理杰里迈亚·马内莱(Hon. Jeremiah Manele)主持,出席者包括政府部长、主要利益相关者、外交团、各省和城市领导人、传统领导人及发展伙伴。
1号泊位的改建工程是在土地和海洋连接项目下进行的,得到了亚洲开发银行的资金支持。施工合同已授予中国土木工程集团公司(CCECC),这代表了所罗门港口历史上及国家海洋部门中最重要的基础设施投资之一。
在仪式上,SIPA主席摩西·维里沃洛莫(Mr. Moses Virivolomo)表示,该项目反映了国家在加强所罗门群岛国际贸易主要通道方面的承诺。
“霍尼亚拉港是我们经济的命脉,连接着首都与各省以及全国数百个岛屿。这次改建对于确保我们的港口保持安全、高效,并能够满足未来贸易需求至关重要,”维里沃洛莫先生说。
改建工程重点通过现代货物处理系统、先进的信息技术和安全基础设施以及更好的物流流动来提高运营效率,同时增强安全性并符合国际标准。它还通过绿色港口原则和节能系统促进环境可持续性,能够进行未来扩展以适应不断增长的货物量,并通过具有成本效益和耐用的设计解决方案确保物有所值。
在他的主题演讲中,主宾总理杰里迈亚·马内莱(Hon. Jeremiah Manele)表示,1号泊位的改建对国家经济、贸易和未来发展具有战略重要性。
马内莱总理表示,这是对国家生产力和经济韧性的投资,政府认识到强大的基础设施必须得到支持。
他说,1号泊位的修复正值关键时刻,因为霍尼亚拉港面临着集装箱量持续上升、人口增长和经济扩张的挑战。
“1号泊位的修复必须被视为更广泛的国家港口发展愿景的一部分,这一愿景整合了基础设施投资、现代立法、健全的国有企业治理、城市规划和私营部门增长,”他说。
“政府将继续与SIPA合作,确保我们的港口安全、韧性、效率高且具有竞争力,并由反映现代社会现实的立法进行管理。”
一旦完成,改建预计将显著增加货物吞吐量,减少船舶周转时间,降低长期维护成本,并增强霍尼亚拉港在太平洋地区的竞争力。
所罗门港口对所罗门群岛政府、基础设施发展部、财政和国库部、亚洲开发银行以及CCECC的持续支持和合作表示感谢。我们将继续致力于共同成功完成这一里程碑项目。

Solomon Ports this week on Wednesday officially commissioned and handed over 14 double-type solar street lights to the Afio Station community in South Malaita, under our ongoing Green Port Initiative and Community Support initiative .
Despite the bad weather , hundreds turned up in numbers to witness the ceremony.
The handover ceremony reflects our continued commitment to sustainability, environmental responsibility, and community development across the Solomon Islands.
Afio Station was chosen because of its strategic importance as a hub for trade and travel for the people of South Malaita, East Are’Are, and West Are’Are . The station connects communities through transport, business, and essential services, making it an important centre for the region’s growth and daily life.
The project saw the installation of 14 double-type solar-powered streetlights across Afio Station, from the Afio wharf to Afio mini-Hospital/clinic. These systems are designed to provide sustainable, clean, and reliable lighting, even during cloudy or rainy periods.
Together, the 14 lights are expected to generate 3,504 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy annually — equivalent to an estimated SBD $23,340 in yearly savings if connected to the national power grid. Each light can continue producing power for up to 3.3 days without direct sunlight , ensuring consistent illumination and safety.
The project began with a site assessment and verification in late May , followed by procurement and shipment of materials in August .
Construction and installation were completed in September , with the official commissioning and handover held in October 2025 .
We acknowledge the collaborative effort behind the successful completion of the project, especially with the Malaita Provincial Government , Afio community leaders , and all local stakeholders who worked alongside our team to make the project possible.
The installation of solar street lights aims to improve safety, accessibility, and security at night — particularly for families, traveller’s, and those seeking medical assistance at the Afio Mini Hospital .
Speaking during the handover ceremony , SIPA’s Energy and Utility Officer Mr. Ashley Vasula said the port was glad in assisting Afio station with the new street lights
“Through projects like this, Solomon Ports aims to give back to our people — to bring light, both literally and symbolically, to communities that play a vital role in our nation’s connectivity and growth. Strong communities build strong ports, and we are proud to provide these solar lights to Afio Station.” He said.
Meanwhile in receiving the solar street lights on behalf of Afio station , Malaita province Senior Administration officer for Southern Region Mr. David Mane acknowledged SIPA for recognizing the deep need for street lights , highlighting this will not only add as lighting up the station at night but also to reduce risks and boost economic activities.
He said people will feel more secure and safe at night time , people from surrounding areas accessing the Mini Hospital especially during the event of emergencies late at night will find the brightly lit streets of Afio much helpful.
So far, Solomon Ports has implemented similar projects in Western, Isabel, and Central Islands Provinces — and now Malaita Province — lighting up schools, community halls, and streets.”

所罗门港口本周三正式启用并交付了14盏双头太阳能路灯,供南马莱塔的阿菲奥车站社区使用,此举是我们持续推进的绿色港口倡议和社区支持倡议的一部分。
尽管天气恶劣,仍有数百人到场见证了这一仪式。
此次交接仪式体现了我们对可持续发展、环境责任和所罗门群岛社区发展的持续承诺。
阿菲奥车站之所以被选中,是因为其作为南马莱塔、东阿雷阿雷和西阿雷阿雷人民贸易和旅行中心的战略重要性。该车站通过交通、商业和基本服务连接社区,成为该地区增长和日常生活的重要中心。
该项目在阿菲奥车站安装了14盏双头太阳能路灯,从阿菲奥码头到阿菲奥小医院/诊所。这些系统旨在提供可持续、清洁和可靠的照明,即使在多云或下雨的情况下也能正常工作。
这14盏灯预计每年将产生3504千瓦时(kWh)的清洁能源——如果连接到国家电网,相当于每年节省约23,340所罗门元。每盏灯在没有直射阳光的情况下可以持续发电长达3.3天,确保持续的照明和安全。
该项目于5月底开始进行现场评估和验证,8月进行材料采购和运输。施工和安装于9月完成,正式启用和交接仪式于2025年10月举行。
我们感谢在项目成功完成背后所付出的合作努力,特别是马莱塔省政府、阿菲奥社区领导和所有与我们团队合作的地方利益相关者。
太阳能路灯的安装旨在提高夜间的安全性、可达性和安保,特别是对家庭、旅行者和在阿菲奥小医院寻求医疗帮助的人们。
在交接仪式上,所罗门港口的能源和公用事业官员阿什利·瓦苏拉(Ashley Vasula)表示,港口很高兴能为阿菲奥车站提供新的路灯。
“通过这样的项目,所罗门港口旨在回馈我们的人民——为在我们国家的连接和发展中发挥重要作用的社区带来光明,无论是字面上的还是象征意义上的。强大的社区造就强大的港口,我们很自豪能为阿菲奥车站提供这些太阳能路灯。”他说。
与此同时,马莱塔省南部地区高级行政官大卫·马内(David Mane)代表阿菲奥车站接受太阳能路灯时,感谢所罗门港口认识到路灯的迫切需求,强调这不仅能在夜间照亮车站,还能降低风险并促进经济活动。
他说,人们在夜间会感到更加安全,周边地区的人们在紧急情况下前往小医院时,明亮的阿菲奥街道将非常有帮助。
迄今为止,所罗门港口已在西部、伊莎贝尔和中央岛省实施了类似项目——现在在马莱塔省——照亮学校、社区礼堂和街道。
