Port Authority

The Ports Authority of Fiji levies a fee applicable to all vessels entering any of the ports of Suva, Lautoka, Savusavu and Levuka. Vessels up to 100 tonnes pay a maximum of FJ$14.45. It seems that currently this fee is only being charged by the Port Authority in Suva.

Additional charges apply if coming from a high-risk port or if clearing at an undesignated port of entry. See the ANA form page 12 for more details.

Anchoring Fees

Some villages in the Lau Group may levy an anchoring charge, but information from Jone Drugunalevu (jone.drugunalevu@govnet.gov.fj) says: "There is no anchorage fee charged by any village being legislated by the Surfing Decree and Super Yacht Decree."

Departure Taxes

Exit Fee/Departure Tax: FI$20.
A Port Authority fee of approx. FI$15 is ONLY payable if yachts have berthed on an official dock (most unlikely in either Suva or Lautoka). No other Port Authority fee is required for private yachts.
