Growing up, Inoke Malovesi always admired the work jour­nalists and media reporters do. It follows suit that the Lomaiviti na­tive is now a public relations officer with giant shipping agency, Swire Shipping.

Mr Malovesi’s dream became a re­ality after successfully completing secondary school and applied for the job at Swire Shipping.

Swire Shipping is the brand name for all liner shipping services operat­ed by the China Navigation Company Pte Ltd (CNCo).

They have been providing niche, regional, multipurpose shipping services since 1883 when China Navigation Company established liner services in Australia includ­ing Fiji.
