The country’s developing economy relies heavily on agriculture, tourism, financial services and raising cattle for export. Fishing is also important but is usually done for subsistence purposes and does not bring foreign exchange.
Port Infrastructure
Vanuatu has two ports, the Port of Vila and the Port of Luganville in Santo.
Vila is the principal port; however, its infrastructure is quite limited. It has just one multipurpose wharf to handle cargo vessels, cruise ships and oil tankers.
Another small dock would handle domestic inter-island cargo carriers.
The islands have four ports that offer customs and immigration clearance to yachts.
