Vessel Description

WATO is a small general cargo vessel built in 1982 and operating under the Papua New Guinea flag. The vessel is primarily engaged in inter-island cargo operations serving coastal communities throughout Papua New Guinea. As a vessel of her type and age, she is characteristic of the working cargo fleet that supports supply logistics to remote island and coastal settlements across the South Pacific region. Her modest size and draft make her suitable for operations in smaller regional ports and anchorages common throughout the PNG island network.
