Connected to the main-line network only by feeder, Madang sits on the Bismarck Sea on Papua New Guinea's north coast and is run by PNG Ports Corporation. Maersk links it on roughly an 18-day rotation out of Tanjung Pelepas, calling alongside Lae, Port Moresby and Wewak. The port handles general cargo, containers and breakbulk at one to two berths of about 9–10 m depth, with basic forklifts and mobile cranes and 27 reefer points for chilled or frozen loads such as tuna. Its limited road hinterland makes it primarily a local supply and export gateway rather than a transhipment hub. Larger container volumes are consolidated via the country's main port at Lae or via Port Moresby.
