Ocean Accounting for Maritime Transport – Solomon Islands Pilot

This page hosts deliverables, timelines, relevant documents, and key information for the Ocean Accounting for Maritime Transport pilot in Solomon Islands.

Over 16 weeks (October 2025–January 2026), this pilot will compile standardised maritime data for Solomon Islands using international accounting frameworks (SEEA and SNA). The project will produce a national shipping asset account, maritime workforce baseline, and operational spatial data dashboard—creating the evidence base for government policy implementation and maritime sector development planning.
