The name of this shipwreck, which has been lying at Honiara Central Market for several years, is MV Yandina.[1]
The vessel is owned by Sir Thomas Koh Chan,[2] who's Chinese name is 陳國強. Thomas Koh Chan (also known as Tommy Chan) is a wealthy businessman and former Minister of Solomon Islands.[3]
In March 2016, market vendors at the Central Market from at least five different provinces of Solomon Islands urged an immediate removal of this and another shipwreck from the market jetty[4]
A post of 23 July 2016 by a Solomon Islander on the social network "Forum Solomon Islands" (a Facebook group counting 16,516 members on 26 August 2016), raised questions surrounding the responsibility of clearing shipwrecks left behind at the coastal waters of Solomon Islands. By 26 August 2016, the post had already received 28 replies from 23 different people. Further more, it was liked 81 times which is twice the average amount for the social network group (calculated from the latest 50 post with recent activity on 26 August).
On 26 August 2016, I started an on-line petition to urge the removal of this ship by its owner. The petition can be consulted and signed on-line.
