I was in Kavieng & New Hanover on Dec 15 – to Feb. 16 and enjoyed my time there very much. Kavieng is a friendly town, no real security issues and an excellent anchorage in front of the Nusalik resort. Clearing in was a simple affair after my experiences in Indonesia.
The villagers on Nusalik island where the resort is located were very friendly and keen to encourage yachts to visit. I stayed at the resort a few nights and they provided a boy to sleep on my boat at night as additional security.
The banks in Kavieng are BSP and Westpac and they both have ATMs. There are numerous trade stores that are well stocked but quite expensive as most goods are shipped up from Australia. Fuel is easily purchased from the depot or can be arranged through the Nusa Resort. Freshwater may be a problem during the dry months.

Some information on Emirau Island – 70nm NW of Kavieng. Great welcoming village, happy to have yachts, no shops, very willing to trade. Secure anchorage except in a strong Southerly. Anchor between Emirau Island and Elomusao Island in about 10m.
The passage to the North is not navigable and beware of a reef in the centre of the pass in from the South. Keep closer to the main island. Navionics and C Map charts are out by about 1nm+.
There is an old WW2 base in the North, although we never went there.
Rather remote, one tale the locals told us, was of 3 fishermen who were lost at sea for 3 and 1/2 months – 2 survived and were picked up at the Gilbert Islands!
