Solomon IS DOMESTIC SHIPPING

Silentworld has distributed domestic cargo throughout the provinces of the Solomon Islands for over 7 years with the use of Landing Craft Tankers.

This type of vessel is used in order to ‘roll on roll off’ cargo at sites with limited port infrastructure. All Silentworld landing craft carry 4 wheel drive fork lifts onboard to facilitate quick and efficient deliveries.

Our Honiara and Noro cargo drop hubs are both independent from the main domestic wharfs, thus allowing us to run efficient and secure cargo services.

Silentworld presently runs three fixed scheduled services. The SHORT WEST departing the first Tuesday of every month and the LONG WEST departing the third Tuesday each month. We also have a fixed Eastern run which departs on second Tuesday of each month.

Cut off for cargo on all our Tuesday departures is strictly that of 12pm Saturday prior departure the following week.

All cargo is packed and wrapped for safety and security and is written up for tracking using our consignment note system. This is the only modern tracking system operating in the Solomon Islands.
