Cabinet has approved plans to develop the Rokobili Transshipment Port, a major infrastructure initiative aimed at boosting Fiji’s role as a regional centre for shipping, trade and investment.

The project will be delivered in stages, starting with the construction of essential port and logistics infrastructure before expanding to industrial and logistics precincts designed to support manufacturing, trade and other commercial operations.

Development of the port will be carried out through a competitive Expressions of Interest (EOI) process and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, allowing private sector investors to contribute expertise and funding to the project.

Once operational, the Rokobili Transshipment Port is expected to expand the country’s port handling capacity, improve the movement of cargo, increase trade efficiency and generate employment opportunities.

The development also aligns with the Government’s long-term economic priorities under the National Development Plan 2025–2029 and Vision 2050, while positioning Fiji as a leading logistics and transshipment hub in the Pacific.
