Mysterious Vessel Sparks Curiosity at Lautoka Wharf

A mysterious vessel docked at Lautoka Wharf has captured public interest as it awaits dry docking. The maritime vessel, known as Yavirau, is linked to several local figures, including well-known businessman Wella Pillay, who is believed to have acquired the vessel on behalf of a Fijian chief residing overseas. Although the Maritime Safety Authority of Fiji has not been informed about the ownership or plans for the vessel, sources confirm that the Yavirau belongs to Tui Lakeba, Ratu Tevita Mara. Currently flagged under Mongolia, the vessel is undergoing maintenance following its recent arrival in Lautoka.
