3.5.2 Micronesia Additional Suppliers | Digital Logistics Capacity Assessments

Overview

Overview

Wholesale suppliers are very limited and whilst there is a very full range of hardware supplies available they do not carry extensive stock.

Local business with the ability to import hardware and goods, as in those types of goods required for humanitarian assistance i.e. tents, water pumps, pipes, water tanks, computer / IT equipment, office furniture will be the main hardware suppliers. The primary business with the capacity to undertake this is ACE Hardware who have the biggest and most extensive network in each state.

However more importantly no goods are manufactured in FSM and all goods are imported. As such, volumes required, depending on the degree of humanitarian event occurring are unlikely to be in stock. Re-supply from Guam or Hawaii as the origin ports using the regular shipping schedule will mean a minimum two week delay before arrival of stock arriving by sea. Shipping times from mainland USA is 3–4 weeks, Japan is 5 weeks. In reality delivery will be much longer however due to current global supply chain delays.
