Southern Integrated Transport Enterprises, more commonly known by the acronym SITE is a state-owned public transport provider based in the South Sea Islands.
SITE was created in 1717 AN, following longstanding criticism among islanders that the Commonwealth's transport infrastructure was fragmented, making it more difficult to travel both domestically and internationally. The company is the national airline of the South Sea Islands, operating from the Commonwealth's only international airport: South Seas International.
Ferry Services
SITE's most used service is the twice daily return ferry service between Zuid-Richel Seaport and Joseph Town, the nation's capital. The service is considered to be critical national infrastructure, constituting the only regular link between Grand Wulfram and Trinity Island. The ferries transport passengers, vehicles, and supplies including medicines and foodstuffs.
Particularly during winter when extreme cold weather grips Trinity Island, the ferry provides a lifeline, transporting fuel and food to the island from the more temperature Grand Wulfram Island. During the winter month, the South Sea Islands Defence Force provides icebreaking services to allow the ferry to keep running despite frequent sea ice. In times of international tension, ferries may also be escorted by military vessels to ensure safety.
SITE operates two ferry vessels- Polar Conveyor and Southern Horizon.
