Swire Shipping yesterday extended its support as exclusive naming rights to sponsor the Fijian Drua for the next two years.

The company is a leading provider of sustainable and innovative shipping and logistics solutions.

This partnership reinforces Swire Shipping’s longstanding commitment to the communities of Fiji, and to aiding the development of local sporting talent.

The Fijian Drua, a professional rugby union team based- in Nadi, is the youngest club in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition.

The Drua’s debut in 2022 was a significant achievement for Fiji rugby and they have continued to impress in the competition, showcasing exceptional talent and surpassing many preseason expectations.

“We are delighted to extend our partnership with the Fijian Drua for two more years,” said Alex Pattison, Swire Shipping’s regional manager for the Pacific Islands.

“As a longstanding supporter of sport in Fiji, we recognise the significant role that rugby plays in the nation’s culture and the impact it has on communities across the country.

“We are incredibly proud of what the Drua have achieved, both on and off the field, and hope that our ongoing partnership will give the Drua vuvale (family) the continuity and support they need to continue representing the hopes and aspirations of Fijians at the highest level of international rugby competition.”
