$14 million investment by Goundar Shipping

By Sainiani Boila

Goundar Shipping Limited has made an investment of over $14 million so far this year.

Managing Director, George Goundar says the investment will help meet the demands in the transport sector.

Goundar says they recently bought two vessels early this year with the latest Lomaiviti Princess 8 to arrive next week.

"So the time spent on board is shortened now and the facilities as you know, if you haven't seen number 7, I think people of Lau will enjoy that and we have put a bit into the franchise for servicing back to Rotuma and that is the place I love servicing, its far but they need better ships out there."

He adds two more vessels, the Lomaiviti Princess 9 and 10 are expected to arrive in the country next month.

These vessels will provide transport services to the Lau Group, Savusavu and Rotuma.
