Managed security services in Vanuatu

Security considerations in Vanuatu

Coverage in Vanuatu centres on Port Vila: retail and offices in the town centre, resorts and villas on the lagoons, and arrivals through Bauerfield International Airport and the main wharf on cruise days. Sites in Luganville and on other islands are reached by domestic flights, so supervision and relief cover are planned ahead. Bislama is the everyday language, with English and French both used in business. The cyclone season from November to April calls for storm preparation and clear procedures for closing and reopening sites, and a managed program keeps the same Post Orders and reporting format everywhere.
