Tonga - 3.2 Transporters
Road Transport
Due to the small size of its islands, land transport is not really developed in Tonga. Trucks are small and family owned. On Tongatapu islands, two private land transport companies can be found at the port. During an emergency, government agencies transport capacities, mainly from Transport and Works departments as well as the ones from Tonga Defence Services, Police and Fire Service will be used. This amounts to a total of approximately 60 x 4-ton trucks.
On the islands of Ha’apai, Vava’u and outer islands, transport is done by locals with private vehicles and tractors with trailers.
Current capacity is adequate for the local demand and would likely be able accommodate surge in case of additional humanitarian requirements.
