Copra, cocoa, rubber, timber and trochus and green-snail shells make up the bulk of what leaves Kavieng Harbor, the principal port of Papua New Guinea's New Ireland Province. The sheltered deep-water wharf handles roughly 72,000 tonnes and about 1,200 TEU a year, with imports such as tinned fish and meat supplying the island; the largest vessel recorded was the 17,677 dwt bulk carrier Astro Gold. Road links serve the immediate hinterland, while wider connectivity depends on inter-Pacific feeder services. For mainline container coverage and fuller customs facilities, Lae is the nearest hub, leaving Kavieng as an agriculture-focused regional and feeder port.
