Rabaul - Fuel & LPG
It is possible to get a 200 litre drum of fuel delivered to the yacht club jetty. No extra charge, and the delivery men bring a drum pump. Unfortunately, the fuel is dirty and needs to be run through a filter funnel or similar.
The one petrol station in Rabaul is a long dinghy ride from the yacht club.
Fuel can also be obtained at Kokopo by dinghy and jerry cans.

Customs in Kokopo have changed location
The customs in Kokopo have changed their location. They are now a bit off the Rabaul-Kokopo-Road. As soon as you found the WestPac-Building, you will also see a Brian Bell hardware store on the other side.
Enter the road to the right of it (while facing it) and walk about 50 meters. On your left, you will find a small plaza with the customs offices as well as a Catholic book store.
Happy sailing,

The Internet in Rabaul is AWESOME! Digicel just upgraded their towers to 4G and — with either a smartphone (iOS or Android) and subscribing to a data plan, you’ll enjoy FAST 4g service!
Sims are available in most of the supermarkets for k$5.00 and data is — as usual in this part of the world — a little “spendy”, but very high quality. Skype works perfectly!
Whoever sells you the sim can help you with selecting a data package that works for you –and help you configure your device to access the ‘net.
