Fuel Overview 

The Pacific Energy Group established itself in Vanuatu following the acquisition of Shell’s assets in 2006, Mobil’s assets in 2007 and BP’s assets in 2010. Since then, Pacific Energy has made a lot of investments in Vanuatu including the construction of a 2 km long pipeline between the Port of Port Vila and the Pacific Energy depot to allow direct supply by tankers, as well as the expansion of fuel storage capacities in Port Vila and Santo. The Pacific Energy Group has two depots in Vanuatu with a combined storage capacity of 17.2 million litres. The Group employs 100 employees, operates 36 gas stations and provides refuelling at the two biggest airports in Vanuatu – Bauerfield International Airport and Santo International Airport. 

The Pacific Energy Group has signed supply contracts with major international oil companies to ensure the continuity of its supply given its significant reliance on imported fuels. It has also developed its own shipping company, Orient Oil Express Ltd, which operates several oil tankers in the Pacific region. The Group also leans on renown laboratories for constant monitoring of the fuel quality, including aviation, from placement on board in the refinery’s marine terminal, to delivery in its depots, gas stations and the final client.

Origin Energy Vanuatu is an Australian energy company that has been active in Vanuatu since 2005 through its ownership of a 50% stake in the Vanuatu Gas Joint Venture which was formed to explore and develop offshore gas fields in Vanuatu with the aim of supplying gas to the local market for electricity generation and industrial use. The Pango gas field is located approximately 7 km offshore from Port Vila. The use of natural gas as a fuel source has allowed Vanuatu to reduce its reliance on imported diesel fuel.

Increasing fuel prices and inflation are continuously highlighted as a shared concern across the Pacific pre- and post-COVID-19. Vanuatu’s energy sector is characterised by low access, high relative prices, and significant reliance on imported fuels. Vanuatu imports over 60 million litres of fuel/petroleum per year, with approximately 33 million litres of diesel for transport and there are no regulations on petroleum standards, pricing and fuel. Vanuatu is already importing Euro 5 quality fuel. Vanuatu’s dependence on imported fuel creates security of supply risks (potential for fuel supply interruptions) as well as affordability problems for customers.

Land transportation services in Vanuatu is dominated by individual business owners operating public transport services, such as buses and taxi services. The major road transport/logistics companies are limited and are in Port Vila on Efate Island and in Luganville on Espiritu Santo Island where the international ports and airports are located. 

The current capacity meets domestic needs for now. During the twin cyclones in March 2023, the National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) used land transportation from both government and the private sector to transport relief items from the ports of entry to the warehouse and on to the distribution centres. 

During an emergency, access to hard-to-reach areas, such as where base transceiver stations (BTS) are located in the outer islands, would require helicopters. This can be facilitated by foreign military assets (if these have been deployed to Vanuatu). 

For more information on transport company contact details, please see the following link: 4.8 Transporter Contact List. 

The Government of Vanuatu Public Works Department (PWD) has a few trucks and heavy lifting / earthmoving equipment positioned in Efate and Espiritu Santo which can be used for road clearance and other emergency response needs. All requests for assistance during an emergency must be coordinated through the NDMO who will liaise with the PWD.

Food and Additional Suppliers 

Increasing local food production can assist with emergency response in Vanuatu and this would require creating mechanisms to ensure that communities have access to sufficient food immediately after a disaster hits. Following Tropical Cyclone Harold in 2020, three food baskets were established: Sara food basket in North Pentecost, Namaram food basket and Malolo food basket in South Pentecost. The Malolo food basket has since assisted a lot of people in Penama Province during the Manaro volcano ash fall and other natural disasters. Following the twin cyclones Judy and Kevin in March 2023, 300 Vanuatu Golden Hybrid yams were ready for harvest from the Sara food basket which greatly assisted communities in Penama Province.

Manual Labour 

There are two main categories of employment contracts in Vanuatu: 

• Fixed term contracts – definite start and end date; and 

• Open-ended contracts – start date but no set end date. 

Although employers in Vanuatu often refer to full time, part-time and casual employees, Vanuatu’s law does not define these terms and benefits such as paid leave and severance allowance are only available to employees in continuous employment. 

Find below the normal working hours. 

• Normal maximum working hours a week: 44 hours per week 

• Maximum working hours a day: 8 hours per day excluding break times 

• Maximum number of days a week to work: 6 days 

If the employee is required to work extra hours, e.g. during an emergency response, the total hours worked must not exceed 56 hours per week. 

The key national legislation for employment and labour in Vanuatu is the Employment Act. The key legislation for wages is the Minimum Wages and Minimum Wages Board Act. In 2023, the Government of Vanuatu, employers’ and workers’ organisations and civil society are working together on the development of a National Employment Policy to address issues such as skills development, labour market information and analysis systems and social protection. 

The Vanuatu Council of Trade Unions (VCTU) is the sole national trade union center, and it is affiliated to the International Trade Union Confederation. The VCTU is active. 

Volunteers are usually engaged during an emergency response to work at the storage and distribution sites. 

Labour Rate(s) Overview
	Cost  (Local Currency & USD - $)	Rate as of MMM YY
Daily General Worker (Unskilled casual labour)	VUV 300 (US$ 2.48)	Jun 23
Daily General Worker (Semi-skilled labour)	VUV 300 (US$ 2.48)	Jun 23
Skilled Worker	VUV 300 (US$ 2.48)	Jun 23

 

Telecommunications 

For Vanuatu’s telecommunications sector, mobile internet has created opportunities for doing business and accessing life enhancing services. COVID-19 reaffirmed the importance of internet connectivity and digitisation of services in Vanuatu. 

Telecommunication operators play a vital role in supporting the Government of Vanuatu to provide important services and robust networks during an emergency response. The telecommunications sector has witnessed an improvement in data packages and bundling confirming the continuous investments by operators to meet the increasing demand. 

Generally, the Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC) in Vanuatu is only activated 24 hours before an emergency or disaster such as a cyclone. The ETC is led by the Office of Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) and co-led by the Telecommunications Radiocommunications and Broadcasting Regulator (TRBR). The Chief Information Officer within the OGCIO reports directly to the Prime Minister. 

The National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) currently uses the Vanuatu Government National Broadband Network which consists of HF and VHF. In the outer islands, HF and VHF equipment are only located in the police stations.

For the importation and licensing of humanitarian communications equipment: VSAT, HF, VHF, Thuraya, etc, humanitarian agencies must submit a request to TRBR for an exemption before bringing equipment into Vanuatu (including equipment being brought in for trainings). This will enable the agency to bring the equipment through Customs. The TRBR will also require that the agency apply for a Radio Apparatus License. Note that there may be a fee for obtaining the license.
