A plan to launch the newly reconstructed Vuna Wharf on April 18 by the late King George Tupou V on 18 April, to coincide with the arrival at the new wharf of its first cruise ship, has been postponed to June, according to Mosese Lavemai, the Chief Executive Officer of the Nuku'alofa Port Authority.
But Mosese said, "no cruise ship will arrive in Nuku'alofa in June."
Meanwhile, the construction of a connecting road had been completed, with minor works left to be carried out, including the setting up of security housing and equipment.
