Overview
About Pacific Forum Line
Created by the people, for the people.
The company was born from the concern over the deterioration of traditional "island tramp/ship" shipping services due to containerisation.
Several studies showed a south Pacific regional shipping service was viable and Pacific Forum Line was incorporated in 1977, and set sail in 1978.
We are both a shipping company and an instrument for regional development. Our Charter requires us to fulfil the following responsibilities:
- To ensure regular shipping services
- To offer a modern service that encourages economic development in the South Pacific Region.
- To provide affordable freight rates to all markets
- To operate a viable shipping service
Our goal has always been to maximize efficiencies. This allows us to seek a modest profit, whilst also keeping freight rates at realistic levels.
In this way we help to foster Pacific Island trade.
