# Ringgi Cove (SB RIN)

**UN/LOCODE:** SB RIN  
**Country:** Solomon Islands  
**Water Body:** Solomon Sea; South Pacific Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Small  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Natural)  
**GPS:** -8.1167, 157.1000

A single timber wharf long defined Ringgi Cove (SB RIN), so cramped that other vessels struggled to berth until an Asian Development Bank-backed community wharf was added. The facility sits beside the privately run Ringgi Station on Kolombangara Island, on the north side of Blackett Strait, and is operated by Kolombangara Forest Products Limited (KFPL), a Korean-Solomon Islands forestry company now leaning toward regenerative forestry and eco-tourism. Its core business is log and timber export rather than diversified cargo; broader container or customs clearance capability is not confirmed. A cargo-pier depth of around 7.9 m suits the bulk carriers and log ships that call here. For containers, general cargo and international liner connections in the Western Province, Noro is the relevant port, while Honiara on Guadalcanal serves as the national gateway.
