The Government of the Independent State of Papua New Guinea (GoPNG) has requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to provide a multi-tranche financing facility (MFF) to facilitate investments to improve the current state of the country’s domestic air transport system under the Civil Aviation Development Investment Program (CADIP). Twelve major airports have been identified for improvements under Tranche 3 due to deteriorated pavement conditions and low pavement strength to ensure that these airports are capable of accommodating the current operating aircraft or similar within a safe and secure operating environment. II. CADIP is a comprehensive program to improve, rehabilitate and maintain major domestic airports in Papua New Guinea (PNG) so that these airports are compliant with the domestic and international aviation safety and security standards. The executing agency for CADIP is the National Airports Corporation (NAC) who owns, operate and maintain twenty one (21) national airports in PNG on behalf of GoPNG. III. An environmental assessment and review framework (EARF) has been prepared to guide environmental safeguards implementation for Tranche 3. In accordance with the EARF this Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) presents the environmental assessment of one of the project under Tranche 3 – Pavement Strengthening and Associated Works at the Wewak Airport, East Sepik Province of PNG. This IEE has been carried out to ensure that the potential adverse environmental impacts are appropriately addressed in line with ADB Safeguard Policy Statement 2009 and the GoPNG Environment Act 2000. The key environmental impacts on the physical, natural and human environments have been assessed. IV. The main findings of this IEE indicate that the impacts that will arise from Wewak Airport Runway Extension & Airside Works will be minimal and generally insignificant as the works only involve rehabilitation and improving the aircraft pavement and associated works within the existing airport boundary for duration of 18 months. The project is

  • Papua New Guinea's Emergent Longline Fishery
    Papua New Guinea's emergent longline fishery Two Hawaii-based fishing vessels are currently participating in the longline fishery in Papua New Guinea (PNG), in the south west tropical Pacific. The two vessels, which fish in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands for lobsters are on charter in PNG between lobster fishing seasons. PNG is one of the largest Pacific nations, straddling Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, with one of the largest EEZs in the region and abundant tuna resources. Like the rest of the Pacific, PNG is keen to expand its longline fishing industry for the lucrative fresh tuna market in Japan. Fishing trials in 1994 and 1995 in Rabaul, Finchaven and the capital city, Port Moresby, demonstrated the feasibility of a domestic fishery in PNG; although the productivity of the resource was evident from the long history of fishing in PNG waters by Korean, Taiwanese and Japanese longliners. From 1994 onwards various local companies began to establish fishing operations at various ports throughout the country, but with most activity centered around Port Moresby. A longline fishery management plan was developed by the National Fisheries Authority in 1995, which included a ban on foreign longliners operating in the PNG EEZ. Licensing guidelines were also introduced which included a minimum of 51% PNG equity in joint ventures, and short-term charter of foreign vessels to PNG companies on a 1:1 basis with the number of local vessels in a company fleet. Presently there are 20 longliners operating in PNG, with the majority of vessels being based in Port Moresby. Fishing companies outside of the capital include one in Alotau and the two others in PNG=s second city Lae.
