Fiji Ports Corporation Limited has announced a significantly improved performance for the first six month of this financial year compared to the same period last year.

Chairman Semi Koroilavesau said for the period 1st January to 30th June 2008, FPCL achieved an increase in profit, after tax, of approximately 1.6 million dollars over the corresponding period of 2007.

Koroilavesau said this was achieved despite there being no increase in tariffs since May 2001.
