Overview
Jetties and landings provide essential infrastructure to interisland freight and people movement throughout Fiji. Scheduled ferries service main ports on the main islands however, in more remote areas of the main islands and remote islands small private operators use barges and landing craft to deliver supplies and people. During periods of stability where the effects of natural disaster are minimal or non-existent the road network on the main and tourist islands are the main source of freight and personnel movement.
Where no jetty is constructed, beach landings are used. This will be the last resort but it is common. Access through reef channels can be treacherous but may often be the only method of transport to an island.
Description and Contacts of Key Companies
The Fiji Roads Authority has the responsibility to monitor and maintain jetties and landings and is currently constructing a database of technical aspects of each landing access (i.e. length and width) and water depth. This is currently unavailable.
Fiji has a total of 47 jetties: 30 in the Central-Eastern Division; 4 in the Western Division; and 13 in the Northern Division.
