Solomon Islands Strengthens Mining Sector Integrity Through Enhanced Coordination with Support from UNDP and the United Kingdom

Government institutions in Solomon Islands reaffirmed their commitment to stronger transparency, accountability and inter-agency cooperation as the country prepares for increased mining activity and works towards rejoining the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative. More than 30 representatives from ministries, oversight bodies, law enforcement, financial intelligence institutions, civil society and mining companies met in Honiara for a national workshop on corruption, illicit financial flows and revenue leakage in the mining sector. The workshop was organised by UNDP and the Solomon Islands EITI National Secretariat with funding from the United Kingdom. Participants identified practical ways to improve information sharing and coordinated responses. Government, UK and UNDP representatives stressed that responsible resource governance requires nationally led reforms and effective cooperation so mineral wealth can create jobs, generate public revenue and deliver lasting benefits.

Cook Islands Aerial Surveillance Programme Renewed

Cook Islands Aerial Surveillance Programme Renewed Release – 01July2026, Wellington, New Zealand Maintaining eyes over our ocean is a critical role the Ministry of Marine Resources (MMR) plays in safeguarding our ocean resources. This includes the use of aerial surveillance aircraft. ... The ASP is a regional initiative coordinated by FFA to enhance maritime domain awareness and strengthen fisheries compliance across the Pacific. The programme deploys specially equipped surveillance aircraft and trained personnel to undertake aerial patrols that support member countries in monitoring fishing activity, identifying potential illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, and collecting intelligence to inform national monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) operations. After initially joining in 2021, the renewed MoU provides the Cook Islands a continuing governance framework for access to aerial surveillance services, enabling trained personnel to conduct aerial patrols and collect data that directly supports national fisheries monitoring and enforcement efforts led by the Ministry of Marine Resources. This data enhances national surveillance capability and strengthens the safeguarding of marine resources and effective ocean governance. It improves situational awareness, informs national risk assessments, and guides the strategic deployment of surface patrol assets, thereby strengthening the effectiveness of compliance and enforcement operations in partnership with line agencies. It also supports the timely identification of vessels involved in fisheries offences and other transnational crime within the Cook Islands’ Exclusive Economic Zone. Speaking on the signing of this MoU, the Honourable Tingika Elikana said the renewal reflects the Cook Islands’ commitment to the National Sustainable Development Agenda (NSDA) Priority 11: Sustainable Management of Oceans, Lagoons and Marine Resources, and the importance of continued regional cooperation in safeguarding the nation’s ocean estate: “This agreement ensures we retain access to vital aerial surveillance capability that strengthens our ability to monitor our waters, deter illegal activity, and protect the long-term sustainability of our marine resources. It reinforces our commitment to responsible ocean stewardship and demonstrates the value of strong regional partnerships delivering practical outcomes for the Cook Islands and the wider Pacific.” END.

SOLOMON PORTS LAUNCHES SHIPPING SCHEDULE HUB APP, A NEW ERA OF DIGITAL MARITIME SERVICES

The Solomon Islands Ports Authority (Solomon Ports) has officially launched its first-ever 'Shipping Schedule Hub App', a revolutionary digital platform designed to provide the public with real-time information on domestic shipping vessel movements across Solomon Islands. The launch represents a major milestone in Solomon Ports' digital transformation journey and reinforces the Authority's commitment to modernising maritime services, improving customer experience, and enhancing connectivity between Honiara and the provinces. With the introduction of the Shipping Schedule Hub App, Solomon Ports becomes only the second Port Authority in the Pacific region, after the Guam Port Authority, to develop and launch a dedicated domestic shipping mobile application. Development of the App commenced in 2025 following extensive consultations with domestic shipping operators and key stakeholders to ensure the platform would meet the needs of passengers, vessel operators, and the wider public. The project also involved securing approval from Google to publish the application on the Google Play Store. The Shipping Schedule Hub App is the first application of its kind in Solomon Islands, providing passengers with convenient access to domestic vessel schedules and essential travel information directly from their Android mobile devices. Through the App, users can access up-to-date shipping schedules, receive notifications of vessel delays and cancellations, view general announcements and Solomon Ports press releases, and obtain important safety information before travelling. Additional features include service information, safety guidelines, contact details for customer enquiries, a news section, and a feedback platform that enables users to communicate directly with Solomon Ports. A soft launch and press conference were held today at the Solomon Ports Auditorium at the Authority's headquarters in Honiara. The event was attended by representatives from the media, domestic shipping operators, government stakeholders, and Solomon Ports staff. Guests were given a live demonstration of the App's features, including how passengers can download, navigate, and access real-time shipping information. Speaking during the launch, Solomon Ports Chief Information Officer Mr. Ellison Pade said the application reflects the Authority's continued investment in digital innovation and its commitment to improving domestic shipping services for all Solomon Islanders. The Shipping Schedule Hub App represents a new era for domestic maritime services in Solomon Islands. By placing essential shipping information directly into the hands of passengers, we are improving accessibility, enhancing customer experience, and supporting safer and more efficient travel throughout our islands." Mr. Pade said the App is a practical solution to one of the long-standing challenges faced by travellers—accessing reliable and timely shipping information. "For many years, passengers have relied on word of mouth or multiple enquiries to obtain vessel schedules. This App provides a single, reliable source of information, making it easier for people to plan their travel and stay informed about schedule changes." The Shipping Schedule Hub App forms part of Solomon Ports' broader vision of embracing technology to improve operational efficiency and customer service while supporting national development through smarter maritime infrastructure. The application is currently available free of charge for 'Android devices' and can be downloaded from the 'Google Play Store' by searching "Shipping Schedule Hub." Users may also access domestic shipping schedules through the Solomon Ports website at [www.sipa.com.sb](http://www.sipa.com.sb). Solomon Ports encourages all domestic travellers, shipping operators, and members of the public to download the App and experience a new, more convenient way of accessing shipping information. The launch of the Shipping Schedule Hub App marks the beginning of a new chapter in the digital transformation of Solomon Islands' maritime sector, demonstrating Solomon Ports' continued commitment to delivering safe, efficient, and innovative services for the nation.
