Roughly 95 percent of Fiji's external trade moves through Suva and its sister port Lautoka, and Suva is the country's largest and busiest container and general-cargo port. Its main terminal offers five berths and annual container throughput in the order of 100,000 to 250,000 TEU, worked by ship-to-shore gantry cranes and modern handling equipment, though not fully automated. The port doubles as a transhipment hub for the wider South Pacific, consolidating cargo for smaller island states. Operations are run by Fiji Ports Terminal Limited, an associate of the Fiji Ports Corporation, and the quays handle break-bulk and bulk alongside containers. Hinterland distribution on Viti Levu is by road, as the island has no significant rail freight. For cargo bound for western Fiji, the second national port of Lautoka is the practical alternative.
