Yandina is a port whose busiest days are behind it. The main town of Mbanika in the Russell Islands once worked as a third export port, but with the RIPEL plantation closed the facility has largely fallen idle, leaving mainly inter-island ferries from Honiara carrying passengers and some copra. There is no deepwater or container infrastructure here — a single wharf for smaller vessels and anchorages make up the port. For commercial freight, customs and international services, Honiara on Guadalcanal is the relevant Solomon Islands gateway.
