The National Executive Council has approved the establishment of a National Shipping Service Program (NSSP).
The NSSP will ensure the provision of reliable, affordable and sustainable sea transport connectivity services for rural Papua New Guinea is met.
An estimated cost of K250, 000 has been approved for the implementation of the NSSP program, and will be spread over a five-year (5) period. An initial cost of K20 million will be available in the 2021 development budget.
Prime Minister, James Marape, said the Departments of Finance, Treasury, National Planning and Monitoring, PNG Ports Corporation and the National Maritime Safety Authority have all been directed to facilitate the establishment arrangements for the NSSP, and to be coordinated by the Department of Transport.
