Increasing the resilience of maritime transport in Tuvalu

People from Niutao and Nanumanga, two of the outer islands of Tuvalu, rely heavily on shipping to supply life’s necessities but also to prepare and respond to a crisis or emergency. New maritime infrastructures are expected to improve the living standards of the local population and the resilience of Tuvalu’s maritime sector. A study was carried out that forms the basis for the development of new ship landing facilities on the islands.
