# Wewak Harbor (PG WWK)

**UN/LOCODE:** PG WWK  
**Country:** Papua New Guinea  
**Water Body:** Bismarck Sea; South Pacific Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Small  
**Harbor Type:** Open Roadstead  
**GPS:** -3.5667, 143.6333

Around 700 vessel calls, 165,500 tonnes of cargo, 5,500 TEU and some 13,000 passengers pass through Wewak in a typical year — modest figures that mark it as a regional gateway for Papua New Guinea's north coast rather than a deep-sea container hub. Sitting on an open roadstead in the Bismarck Sea, the port is run by PNG Ports Corporation and serves as the main maritime outlet for East Sepik Province. Its principal exports are coffee, copra and canned fish, while inbound trade is general cargo for the region. One or two berths with forklifts and mobile cranes handle containers, breakbulk and general cargo through largely manual operations. With weak road links into the Sepik interior, coastal shipping carries much of the traffic, and overseas boxes generally reach Wewak as transhipment via Lae, the country's main commercial port alongside Port Moresby.
