Any vessel seeking registration in the country will undergo a thorough evaluation and must meet all legislated requirements under the Maritime Safety Authority of Fiji.

The Authority highlighted this to address inaccurate information being disseminated within the public domain concerning the introduction of a new fast ferry into the Fiji waters.

MSAF says they want to reassure the public that strict compliance with importation and registration protocols will be heeded despite any operators/stakeholders’ intentions or premature information released by them.

They say they want to reiterate that all shipping operations must comply with the regulatory framework set forth by the Authority to ensure the safety and integrity of maritime activities in Fiji.

MSAF adds it stands firmly on its commitment to uphold the highest standards of maritime safety.

They are encouraging all stakeholders and members of the public to rely on official communications from MSAF for accurate information regarding maritime operations in Fiji.

The Authority is dedicated to maintaining a transparent dialogue with the community and ensuring the safe operation of all maritime services.
