Ports of Fiji

The Fiji Ports Corporation Ltd, commonly known as ‘Fiji Ports’ is the government owned company that administers the following ports of entry: Suva, Lautoka, Malau, Levuka with responsibilities extending to Wairiki and Rotuma on the ISPS Code watchdog only.

Fiji PortsThere are other ports of entry covered under the Customs Act, but not administered by Fiji Ports, namely Savusavu and any sufferance port.

Communicating with Fiji Ports is via VHF16, and you will be advised when to proceed to anchor at the designated boarding area within the harbour to await the arrival of customs, immigration, bio- security, and health for the required statutory clearances.

Charges relating to pilots (if required) when your vessel is alongside are all stipulated in the tariff guide. Piloting is compulsory for all overseas vessels with associated charges as specified on the Fiji Ports website.

Levuka Town is registered as a natural heritage site for Fiji; many of its original buildings and infrastructure remain as it was built in the late 1800’s. A step back into Fiji’s past and history is experienced with Levuka and it is this unique atmosphere that has encouraged cruise vessels to berth at Levuka to experience their heritage and culture.

Firstly we wanted to compliment you on a fantastic guide for yachties to Fiji. It not only has extensive boat related information but your inclusion of thoughtful pieces on local customs and people are very insightful. Your focus on environmentally friendly practices is appreciated. Keep up the good work! It’s mutually beneficial to visitors to Fiji and the Fijians themselves in that it helps to protect their beautiful waters and coasts.  We will regularly refer to  your book and I am sure we will enjoy the services of many of your advertisers. We look forward to many more good years cruising these beautiful islands. Tony Whiting & Margaret Wilson - SY “Taranui III”,  New Zealand

I have visited 7 marinas in Northland, NZ and distributed over 150 copies of FIJI Shores & Marinas and received very good feedback from the yachties. The publication is world-class and is far superior to a lot of guides that I came across. You guys are doing a great job and leaving everyone for dead in terms of presentation and content. Cheers!
