CargoMaster: Your Reliable Shipping Solution to Wewak’s Coastal Charm

Explore Wewak, the captivating capital of East Sepik province, located on the scenic north coast of Papua New Guinea. With a population of approximately 25,000, Wewak serves as a small port for vessels from Australia and coastal shipping. The town boasts its own international airport, Wewak International Airport, also known as Boram, and is connected to several villages along the Sepik River by road. While the hinterland’s infrastructure may be primitive, it adds to the town’s untouched allure, albeit limiting economic growth.

The old center of Wewak sits gracefully on a small peninsula, while the rest of the urban area stretches along a narrow strip of flat land nestled between the ocean and the coastal mountain range. Towards the eastern side of the town center lies a charming peninsula housing Boram Hospital and Wewak International Airport, making travel convenient for visitors.

Wewak is connected by road to three villages along the Sepik River: Angoram, Timbunke, and Pagwi. However, the road conditions can be challenging at times. Additionally, a coastal highway extends westward, linking Wewak with the coastal towns of Aitape and Vanimo, the capital of Sandaun province. Wewak experiences a tropical rainforest climate, providing a lush and vibrant environment.
