About This Seaport
Copra for transhipment, general cargo and fishing landings define the trade of Alotau (PG GUR), the main port of Papua New Guinea's Milne Bay Province. Set on Sanderson Bay, the facility combines a cargo wharf with a passenger berth and handles containers, breakbulk and bulk goods. Limited water depths mean that smaller coastal and supply vessels make up most calls. Roads serve the immediate hinterland, while onward movement to other parts of the country relies largely on coastal shipping. The port underpins supply to a remote province rather than long-haul container trades. For containerised imports and overseas connections, Lae and Port Moresby remain the decisive alternatives.
