Swire Shipping maintains an office on Williams Road in Kokopo, but the cargo itself moves through Rabaul, roughly 23 km to the northwest, which holds the region's only ocean berths. Kokopo's Tropicana wharf is an open roadstead used mainly for coastal craft and passengers, so its relevance for freight forwarders is limited. Containerised goods and East New Britain exports such as copra, cocoa and palm oil are shipped via Rabaul, served by Maersk feeder services. Forwarders handling consignments to the province should route through Rabaul (PG RAB) or the larger hub at Lae.
