$62K to salvage ship from Rotuman reef

The Government has spent $62,000 salvaging the Bulou ni Ceva off a reef in Rotuma, Government Shipping Services Director Captain Seci Waqa said.

But he said there was never any contract signed by the Government for the towing of the Bulou Ni Ceva.

Captain Waqa said the salvage crew from Work Boats Fiji Limited was only contracted by the Government to salvage the oil off the boat.
