What Fiji Ports does

Fiji Ports Corporation Limited is a Fijian state-owned enterprise responsible for managing and operating seven commercial seaports across the country: Suva, Lautoka, Levuka, Vuda, Malau, Rotuma, and Wairiki. The company delivers a full suite of port services including pilotage, tug assistance, terminal handling, berth allocation, and stevedoring to international container and bulk shipping lines, cruise operators, regional feeder services, and domestic cargo owners. Its operating model is built on a regulated tariff structure that captures revenue through port dues, pilotage and tug fees, berth hire, terminal handling charges, and storage/cargo-related levies.

Operationally, the corporation has been executing a digitalization program centered on three flagship platforms: an Invoice Payment System that streamlines billing and collections, a Berthing Application System that digitizes berth requests and scheduling, and a Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS) that monitors and coordinates vessel movements across its network. More recent additions include an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system at Suva Local Wharf for automated vehicle access and security, and integrations with Mastercard MPGS, mPaisa, and MyCash payment gateways to broaden fee collection channels. The corporation holds multiple ISO certifications (Quality, Environmental, OH&S, Information Security, Energy Management) under an Integrated Management System framework, and has been recognized with four consecutive World Cruise Awards (2021-2024) and the AKIYAMA Green Port Initiative award (2024). It is also pursuing an Information System Strategic Plan to guide further digital, data, and cybersecurity maturation of its port estate.
