Tampara! We are delighted to announce that we have re-established our permanent footprint in Bougainville with the groundbreaking ceremony of our corporate office and accommodation facility in Toniva.
Our General Manager Business Development, Dan Khaisir, and other representatives attending the ceremony were welcomed through Dutasisi, a traditional ceremony that marked the beginning of this new chapter in Bougainville.
The project follows the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Autonomous Bougainville Government (ABG) and Steamships in May 2026, which established a framework for collaboration on land management, community governance and economic growth in Bougainville.
Managing Director, Chris Daniells, said the project reflects Steamships' confidence in Bougainville's future and the strong relationships built since 2022 through ongoing engagement, consultation and collaboration with traditional land custodians and the ABG.
