The 2018 APEC meeting will be held in Port Moresby in November. The International Berth at the Motukea Terminal is being allocated for a cruise ship to accommodate APEC delegates and not vessels.
The Berth at the Motukea International Terminal will not be available for container vessels from 12th November until 18th November and as a consequence of this, ANL has made the decision to change the rotation of the vessel to avoid possible extended delays. The revised new schedule will now be Port Moresby, Lae, Kimbe, Rabaul, Townsville, Port Moresby for the Smiley Lady V1718N.
