On World Maritime Day, NTRO is proud to announce a new partnership with the Solomon Islands Ports Authority (SIPA) to develop a GreenPort Framework for the Solomon Islands.
The agreement marks an important step in supporting SIPA’s ambition to strengthen the sustainability and resilience of its ports, while ensuring future initiatives reflect Solomon Islands priorities, environmental values and operating conditions.
SIPA Chief Executive Officer George Rausi said the framework would support the long-term future of the country’s ports.
“Our ports are critical to the Solomon Islands economy and our communities. This framework will help us continue developing our ports while protecting our environment and strengthening resilience for future generations,” Mr Rausi said.
NTRO Executive General Manager Jason Sprott said World Maritime Day was a fitting occasion to announce the partnership.
“World Maritime Day is about turning ambition into practical action, so there could hardly be a better day to announce this partnership with George and the SIPA team.”
“This will be a genuinely Solomon Islands-led framework. NTRO will bring our Pacific experience and technical capability, but the real strength will come from working alongside SIPA to develop something practical, locally grounded and built for long-term impact.”
The project will now move into co-development and stakeholder engagement, ensuring the final framework reflects the needs and aspirations of SIPA and the Solomon Islands.
