Nukualofa Wharf

p. 111 · Read in the full issue

Nearly Ready

Nukualofa’s new deepwater wharf at Ma’ufanga, now nearly completed, will be in use before the end of the year. It is costing STI million, half of it a loan from the British Government. The wharf will take the largest cruise liners. It is at the end of a long, two-lane road built across the reef. Installations include ex tensive cargo sheds. The wharf is well to the east of Nukualofa’s present main wharf, and cruise passengers will need to take a taxi ride into town.
