The GEF Small Grants Progamme Our Partner

This project is about helping the Sunae Village on Moso Island due to the changes in sea level rises there land is slowly degrading due to the swell hitting hard as well. This project is to help slow down the impact of the sea level by implementing solutions to help prevent the waves crashing into the land and causing more damage. Ocean Logistics are involved in transporting any equipment needed to Moso Island from Port Vila to help out the villagers in Sunae and build a strong support system while they go through this process due to climate change.

South Sea Cargo Our Partner

Ocean Logistics has partnered up with South Sea Cargo to transport containers inter-island as containerships only reach Port Vila and Santo therefore we are here to provide service to the other islands of Vanuatu by using our Tug and Barge to help transport the containers to Tanna, Malakula, Efate and Santo. This partnership allows people to put bulk cargo into the containers and have the containers come from overseas and still be delivered to their island which allows a massive opportunity for them.

Ocean Environmental Solutions Our Partner

Ocean Logistics are all about re-using and recycling and therefore we have paired up with Ocean Environmental Solutions to do exactly that. This company takes dirty waste oil from shore or offshore and transforms it into reusable fuel either diesel or petrol, this will help our eco-system and climate change by being able to reuse and recycle and prevent oil destroying the sea life or environment on-shore. Being able to reuse dirty oil will help majorly to prevent any burning of the oil into the eco-system and will also be good for vessels and any equipment to reuse it for beneficial reasons.
