Bula Vinaka! Happy Fijian Language Week! 🇫🇯

As a business that works with clients from all over Te Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa, we understand how important it is to celebrate our Pacific languages.

We'll be trying to utilise some of these phrases shared by the Ministry of Pacific Peoples this week 😊

Try these vosa vakaViti phrases to celebrate Fijian Language Week at work 🩵 https://bit.ly/3KPmfbW

We always enjoy seeing footage of the Silver Supporter at Pitcairn Island 🌊

At SESL, we work with the UK Government to help get supplies to the island, so it’s pretty special to see the ship arrive and the longboats making their way between the vessel and shore.

It’s a small glimpse of the journey beyond our yard 😊

⭐ Staff Profile ⭐

Meet Jamie, one of our Directors and Shareholders here at SESL 😊

Jamie first started with Shuttle back in February 2004 while finishing his university degree at AUT - and it was his first salary job.

These days, Jamie has a hand across all parts of the business, while leading our air freight import and export divisions day to day.

One thing Jamie is proud of is the team SESL has built. A team that can keep the business moving, support each other, and make decisions to help solve what our clients need.

Outside of work, Jamie is happiest spending time with his wife and kids, chasing them around to everything they have going on, and cooking up a mean feed for the family. 🍝

A piece of advice he’s never forgotten is simple:

“Treat others how you would like to be treated.” 👏

Sailing schedules - what the heck are those? 🤔

You may have seen us posting our sailing schedules every Friday and wondered what they’re actually for.

At SESL, we load containers for different island destinations across the Pacific. Each sailing has its own cargo drop-off dates, vessel, sailing date, and expected arrival date.

Our sailing schedule lets you know which vessel we’re currently receiving LCL cargo for, when cargo needs to be dropped off by, and when it’s expected to sail.

Basically, it helps you plan ahead - and once your cargo gets to us, we’ll help take care of the rest.

If you have cargo you want to send by air or by sea, flick us a message and we can help get things moving 🙂

🩵 Utanga - cargo or freight
🩵 Kaipuke - ship
🩵 Waka rererangi - aeroplane or aircraft
🩵 Te Mana Ārai o Aotearoa - New Zealand Customs Service
