Abstract
This report has eight chapters.
Following the introduction (Pacific Peoples and the Sea),
the next six chapters each focus on a separate significant
component of Pacific maritime transport, analyzing the major
influences and challenges, and, where relevant, key areas
for future attention. The topics are: international
shipping, gateway ports, domestic maritime transport, four
related sectors, cruise ship tourism, tuna fisheries, fossil
fuel imports, and bulk shipping, natural disasters and
climate resilience, and sector governance and institutions.
The final chapter, transforming pacific maritime transport,
ways forward, distils the report’s findings into the most
significant and far-reaching opportunities to transform
maritime transport in the Pacific. These are grouped into
three broad themes, infrastructure, services, and governance
and capacity building. Ways Forward comes at the end and,
for readers unable to view the whole report, is a good place
to begin. The rest of this executive summary explains why
the Pacific is a special case for investment and provides a
summary of the main chapters and findings. But first, it
describes which Pacific Island countries contributed to the study.
