CargoMaster: Your Gateway to the Unique Charms of Rabaul

Welcome to Rabaul, a captivating township nestled in the East New Britain province of Papua New Guinea, on the scenic island of New Britain. Positioned approximately 600 kilometers east of the island of New Guinea, Rabaul boasts a distinct character shaped by its remarkable history and natural wonders.

Once serving as the provincial capital and primary settlement, Rabaul faced a catastrophic event in 1994 when a volcanic eruption deposited ash onto the town, resulting in the collapse of 80% of its buildings. Since then, the capital has been relocated to Kokopo, situated around 20 kilometers away from Rabaul. Despite the ongoing volcanic activity on the periphery of the Rabaul caldera, a water-filled caldera formed by a large pyroclastic shield, Rabaul continues to enthrall visitors with its unique allure.

Tourists from around the world are drawn to Rabaul’s remarkable volcanoes, excellent scuba diving and snorkeling sites, picturesque harbor and scenery, World War II historical significance, diverse flora and fauna, and the vibrant cultural heritage of the Tolai people. While the eruption in 1994 had an impact on boating activities in the area, Rabaul still receives 10 to 12 cruise ships each year, including notable vessels like the Queen Elizabeth, accommodating up to 2,000 passengers. Tourism plays a vital role in the local economy of Rabaul and the broader East New Britain region.

Following the destruction of Rabaul Airport during the volcanic eruption, a new airport was constructed in Tokua, approximately 50 kilometers southeast of the previous location. However, the Tokua Airport has also faced intermittent closures due to the ash ejected by Tavurvur and carried by the northwest monsoon winds.

Rabaul Airport, also known as Tokua Airport (IATA: RAB, ICAO: AYTK), serves the cities of Kokopo and Rabaul, the current and former capitals of the East New Britain Province on New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea. The airport, situated 32 feet (10 meters) above mean sea level, features a single runway designated as 10/28, with an asphalt surface measuring 5,643 by 92 feet (1,720 meters × 28 meters).

One of Rabaul’s notable geographical features is its expansive and nearly enclosed harbor, Simpson Harbour. This harbor played a pivotal role in the Japanese invasion of the area in 1942, making it an intriguing historical landmark.

Rabaul’s tropical rainforest climate creates a unique atmosphere with consistently high temperatures, humidity, overcast skies, and significant rainfall throughout the year. The town enjoys an average annual temperature of 26.9 °C and an average rainfall of 2201 mm, immersing visitors in a lush and vibrant environment.
