Swire Shipping recently undertook two pro bono charity shipments to Tonga. Firefighting equipment and two fire trucks donated to Tonga Fire & Emergency Services by the Southern Australia Metropolitan Fire Service Adelaide were shipped from Brisbane to bolster Tonga's fire and cyclone response capabilities. One of the fire trucks serves the southern area of Tongatapu, while the other is stationed in Nuku'alofa.
With the support of Vanguard Logistics and Steamships, Swire Shipping also assisted in the shipment of school furniture donated by Bethany College and Regina Coeli Primary School in Sydney to Her Majesty Queen Nanasipau'u's Charity. The shipment was distributed to three schools in Tonga: 'Apifo'ou College, 'Ahopanilolo Technical Institute, and St. Francis of Assisi Kindergarten, and included desks, chairs, shelves, and cabinets.
