Malaloa, American Samoa

The Malaloa Marina was opened for cruisers’ use and has added a customs wharf to handle inbound and outbound clearances.

[1] The American Samoa Senate approved a bill in August 2018 which allocated $1.5 million for the construction of the Malaloa Dock.

A windmill was built near the shore to pump water to a 10,000-US-gallon (38,000 L; 8,300 imp gal) tank located 60 feet (18 m) above the level of the main building.

Early pioneers of the facility included Initia Nemaia, Pepe Malemo, and Feiloa’iga Iosefa.
