Rehabilitation of the Government Shipping Service Jetty at Walu Bay in Suva is currently underway.

This includes improvement in infrastructure and dredging of the water ways.

Permanent Secretary for Transport Francis Kean says this is necessary to improve the working environment and provide better service to the people.

We are very thankful to government for the funding that they have provided in relation to some outstanding works down here at Government Shipping Services, one is the dredging works to our water ways, we just completed phase one of the dredging and looking forward to phase two and three taking place, this work have not taken place for the last 20 years.

The government has earmarked 1.35 million dollars to rehabilitate the jetty and 4.2 million dollars for a new office building which is already underway.
