Around 50 vessels call each year at Oro Bay, the principal maritime access point for Papua New Guinea's Oro Province. The main wharf handles general cargo, containers, bulk palm oil and RoRo traffic, with no quay cranes on site but mobile cranes able to lift containers up to 20 tonnes. PNG Ports Corporation operates the facility, which also processes roughly 10,400 inter-island passengers annually. Hinterland links toward Popondetta rely entirely on road, as no rail or inland-waterway connections exist. Shippers handling containerised or customs-heavy consignments generally route them via the larger port of Lae, for which Oro Bay acts as a feeder.
