Weather & Safety: SIMS has kept a strong wind warning in effect across Solomon Islands waters, warning of rough seas and risks to small boats.

Ports & Trade: SIPA says it will expand the Honiara Domestic Port, including a new wharf and ramps, and notes it has funded major upgrades through savings and reinvestment. Public Order: The government’s plastic ban enforcement is stepping up, with banned single-use items targeted for confiscation and possible arrests. Fuel Crisis Context: A regional timeline shows how the Pacific fuel crisis drove sharp cost rises and economic slowdown, with countries scrambling for supply and renewable alternatives.
