General Info

ALERT

September 2019: All vessels are currently banned from entering Havannah Harbour due to an infestation of the Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle.

Highlighted areas that delineate the offshore buffers zone off Efete, Vanuatu
Map of the Offshore Buffer Zone

The Vanuatu Government issued a State of Emergency on July 2019 for the closure of all waterways on the northeastern coast of Efate due to an infestation of the Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle. Included in this off-limit area are Lalepa, Hat and Moso Islands.  

In addition, all vessels must have their lights switched off (except for navigation lights) while they are within the Offshore Buffer Zone as a precaution measure to avoid attracting the beetles to the vessels. The OBZ region covers Tuktuk Point to Heart Island, Artoka. Lights may be turned back on once outside the OBZ.

Yachts may anchor anywhere outside this buffer zone, including Port Vila Harbour, Hideaway Island and Pango peninsular. Alternatively, yachts may anchor around on the northeast side of Efate at Kakula and Pele Islands.

Contact OMR by phone 35445 or email [email protected], or in an emergency dial 114. 

General Information

Efate is the main island of Vanuatu, where the capital of Port Vila is situated.

The island has a rugged coastline with isolated sandy bays and lagoons and an interior with verdant rain forest,  fast-flowing rivers and cascading waterfalls.
