Comprised of 49% liquid bulk and 51% dry bulk.

Suva

Handles 54% of the total Fiji’s export and

import cargo.

Comprised of 72% containerized , 25% both

liquid & dry bulk and rest non containerized.

Levuka

A fishing port handling

0.22% of the total import &

export cargo.

This constituted 75% frozen

fish for the government

owned tuna canner with the

balance being liquid bulk.

Lautoka

Handles 42% of the total

export and import.

Comprised of 38%

containerized rest 62%

liquid & dry bulk cargo.

Vuda - a liquid bulk terminal

which handles the bulk of

the liquid bulk cargo.


Our Second Tier Ports

These are ports of entry with specialized functions but is administered

by FPCL for statutory requirements like ISPS, etc.

Wairiki

A dedicated woodchips terminal commenced operations in 2012.

Rotuma

Established through the Fiji Government’s initiative in assisting

the Micronesian countries in the Pacific for exportation of root

crops with shipping schedules covering Fiji / Rotuma / selected

Micronesian countries / Rotuma / Fiji.

FPCL Accomplishments

• 2011 - Environment Sustainability a concern to FPCL since 2011 when FPCL

attended a Green Ports conference in Japan.

• 2016 - Energy Audit was conducted with the funding support of South

Pacific Community (SPC).

• 2017 & 2018 - Support for Energy Management by Maritime Technology

Cooperation Centre In the Pacific (MTCC – Pacific)

• Management of hazardous and non-hazardous waste generated by the

Port

• Upgrading of Muaiwalu House internal lighting to LED has reduced the

energy consumption by estimated 40% and a reduction of 62 tonnes of

GHG emissions per year (2016)

• Installation of power factor correction (2018)

• Energy policy and energy management action plan developed (2018)

• Data tracking (electricity) (2017)

• Office air conditioning upgrade (end 2018)


FPCL Accomplishments

FPCL and FPTL together

are saving

approximately FJ$

energy costs.

FPCL have achieved a

saving of 62 tonnes of

Committed to becoming the Smart Green Gateway to the Pacific

2019 – Green Port Master Plan, Timeline and Port

Sustainability Guidelines

This year Fiji Ports is committed to develop The Green Port Master

Plan, Timeline and Port Sustainability Guidelines in-line with our

2019 - 2023 Strategic Plan.


What is a Green Port? – FPCL Perspective

• Is clean

• Contributes to the achievement of the SDGs

• Measures and achieves year on year reductions in its environmental

impact in the following areas:

• Greenhouse Gas Emissions

• Air Pollution

• Marine Pollution

• Waste reduction through Reuse and Recycling

• Engages with stakeholders and users of the port to help reduce its

environmental impact.

• Has healthy green space within its boundary

The ports encompassed by this plan are:

• Suva

• Lautoka

• Levuka.


The Green Port Master Plan - Strategy and Objectives

Green Development - Major redevelopment or construction to adopt green

port guidelines

Stakeholder Engagement - By 2020 committed to be fully engaged with

stakeholders

Reporting - By 2021 for FPCL to be producing twice yearly public reports

Water use Management - By 2022 to have smart water metering

ISO 5001 - By 2020/2021 implement Environmental Management System in

line with ISO14001

Water Pollution - By 2023, comparative reporting on reduction of oil spill

and contamination in harbour areas

Carbon Footprint - By 2023 for FPCL to become carbon neutral with

respect to its use of electricity

Clean Wharfs - By 2023 waste going to landfill from port areas will have

reduced by 30% and the port will be perceived as cleaner.


Port Sustainability Guidelines

The guidelines cover procurement and civil works undertaken by FPCL, such that they are implemented in a sustainable way, to the

greatest extent possible.

“Sustainable procurement looks beyond the up-front cost to make purchasing decisions based on the entire life cycle of the goods and

services, taking into account associated costs, environmental and social risks and benefits, and broader social and environmental

implications.”2018 Australian Government Sustainable Procurement Guidelines


Key Development Projects to be Implemented

Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS)

Electric Incinerator

Onshore Power Supply (OPS)

Solar Power

Tower Lights and Perimeter Lights LED Upgrade

FSHIL Initiative in reducing Vessels Emission


Vessel Traffic Management System – Smart Port Initiative


Shore Power Supply Project – Feasibility


Investigation into Shore Power - Potential Provision

Domestic and small international vessels berthed in Suva at Princess Wharf,

Muaiwalu 1 and Muaiwalu 2, and in Lautoka at the domestic wharf, are often

running their gensets to supply auxiliary power for lighting, refrigeration, ventilation

and other on-board electrical loads.

If lightly loaded, these gensets operate very inefficiently. An efficient genset when

fully loaded can produce around 3.5 kWh per liter of diesel fuel. However at very

low loads, below 20% of full load, genset efficiency can drop to 1.5 kWh per liter of

fuel, or even lower as the load drops further.

This results in high greenhouse gas emissions per kWh of fuel used, at low loads

genset greenhouse gas emissions could be up to 1.7 kg CO2-e/kWh, or even higher.

This is around 5 times higher than grid supplied electricity in Fiji, which has an end-

use emissions factor of around 0.36 kg CO2-e/kWh.

Using grid-supplied electricity on these vessels via a shore power connection can

substantially reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions, cut down air pollution in the

wharf area, and decrease noise. Vessel owners can also save on their fuel usage.

For interisland ferry operators, up to 25% of the carbon footprint from auxiliary

engine operation can occur when berthed.


Commission a Study into Supply of Shore Power

• A study will require collecting a data about the domestic and small international vessels and liaison with ship owners; the most cost effective way of undertaking the study will be to have the Harbour Masters to collect data about the vessels, over a period of say 6 months, and then have the consultant analyze the data.

• Identify which vessels can be connected to shore power and identify connection type

• Establish berthing electrical loads on these vessels

• Inspect vessels to determine likely fuel efficiencies when berthed.

• Estimate the financial benefit that would accrue to vessel owners from shore power

• Determine the greenhouse gas systems

• Identify the capacity required of a shore power system at various wharfs

• Estimate likely capital cost

• Preparation of detailed designs and specifications, which can be done once the decision to proceed is made.

• Should the study recommend shore power, then funding would need to be sought and the project implemented.
