Transport upgrades air and land divisions

Transport upgrades air and land divisions


The Department of Transport is in various stages of improving its civil aviation, land transport, and vehicle registration and insurance sections.

Minister for Transport Reagan Aliklik told parliament in April that the civil aviation division is preparing to install a weather reading instrument which will provide real-time weather information essential for landing and departing aircraft.

 

The instrumental will complement the existing weather reading station established under the National Emergency Services (NES).

The minister says having weather readings available at the airport and at NES ensures that multiple sources of information are readily accessible as needed.

A scoping assessment was conducted on 21 March by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

The division's recent acquisition of bird deterrent equipment has ably assisted in the prevention of bird strikes on operating aircraft.

"Bird strikes have incurred a significant cost to the airline's operations and remain a safety hazard for all aircraft movement," Minister Aliklik said.

In the short time the Mega Blaster Pro has been in use by DCA, early observations have indicated less frequent bird strikes, the minister explained, however, additional data is still needed over a longer period of time to determine a more accurate trend.

 

Minister Aliklik also attended the 19th meeting of the Southwest Pacific Safety Forum hosted by Air Services Australia in Brisbane in February.

The meeting brought together representatives from air navigation service providers across the South west Pacific, focusing on enhancing air traffic services and runway safety and ensuring that deliberations were being formed based on regional connectivity and economic prosperity.

 

The Nauru Civil Aviation Authority is in discussions with the Transport Security Administration (TCA) of the United States regarding the approval of the Nauru International Airport as a TSA certified port.

This will primarily complement Nauru Airlines' commercial flight routes planned from Nauru to other US affiliated countries.

The process involves the Federal Aviation Administration of the USA and other relevant entities.

 

Minister Aliklik will present any developments at the next sitting of parliament.

After much delay owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the airport upgrade and road rehabilitation project, commonly known as the runway resurfacing project, is scheduled to have the scoping work carried out between July to September.

Minister Aliklik said the $40 million project is being supported by the Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific (AIFFP) through grant financing package to ensure that Nauru's runway conditions comply with international standards.

"It is a large scale project which requires intricate planning and coordination to ensure that flight disruptions are minimal, local employment opportunities are maximised, and safety standards are upheld."

The airport runway was last resurfaced in 1993 as part of the runway extension project carried out by New Zealand based company, Fulton Hogan.

In the land transport division, the agreement to procure two electric buses has been signed off on.

 

The buses will be added to the public transport fleet.

The procurement is the cooperative efforts of the transport department and the Department of Climate Change and National Resilience, initiated under the Supporting Mainstreamed Achievement Roadmap Targets of Energy in Nauru (SMARTEN) project.

Minister Aliklik says with only four staff the vehicle registration and insurance division (VRID) continues to be one of the high income sources for the department.

 

The division generated over $500,000 in the first half of the current fiscal year.

"A significant influence on this is attributed to the continued strive for road safety which has been effectively implemented by the Nauru Police Force to which I commend their efforts."

Minister Aliklik stressed that continued vehicle registration and insurance helps keep vehicle safety in check and roadworthy without mechanical defects that could otherwise lead to accidents and potential fatality.

 

To further strengthen the system, the VRID software underwent a significant upgrade by integrating text messaging notifying vehicle owners of their vehicle registration expiration.

VRID has also procured a number plate embossing and hot stamping machine and blank plates to produce vehicle number plates locally, significantly reducing the purchase and delivery times to Nauru, and the logistical costs. The equipment is expected to arrive by the end of the financial year.
