coordination needs to be strengthened. It is proposed that a Border Sub-Committee, meeting at head of agency level, be established under the proposed National Security Officials Committee, outlined in Pillar 10.

The program is a AUD$2 billion commitment over the next 30 years, with three components: Pacific Patrol Boat replacement; integrated regional aerial surveillance; and efforts to strengthen regional coordination. Under the program Vanuatu’s patrol boat, the PVS Tukoro, will be replaced in 2021 by a larger and more capable Guardian Class patrol boat, one of 19 such new vessels in the PMSP (see above). In addition, Vanuatu, along with Samoa, is one of the primary operating bases of the two FFA aircraft engaged in the upgraded PMSP maritime surveillance system.

Of the annual 280,000 tourist arrivals, approximately 200,000 are cruise ship passengers. Good security is crucial, both to provide a safe environment for tourists, and to ensure proper monitoring of passengers and goods.
