Fiji Ports Corporation Limited is currently looking for contractors to tow the remaining 13 derelicts vessels in the Suva harbour.
CEO Vajira Piyasena says they are looking for contractors who will give them a reasonable price to remove the derelicts as some contractors are quoting prices as high as $200,000.
Piyasena says they have removed seven vessels.
He says those companies have sold some parts as scrap metal.
He says they were only able to tow out the derelict vessels by using tug boats after the approval from the Maritime Safety Authority of Fiji.
