Our Stevedoring Operations is one of our key services. We have significant expertise, and is operated by a professional, dedicated and experienced workforce, aided with specialized equipment and lifting gear for efficient and safe vessel operations with the highest standard of cargo care.

There has been no major operational accident or incident in the last 5 + years. We are ENB’s and the New Guinea Islands’ longest serving stevedoring provider of cargo handling services for overseas and coastal sea freight for both import and export cargoes.

Our wealth of experience is second to none in the stevedoring of containers, motor vehicles, breakbulk, commodity exports such as cocoa, copra, coffee & balsa including mining project heavy machinery.

This service is ably and reliably backed up by a modern fleet of stevedoring equipment and we are now planning on acquiring new equipment to re-fleet/re-equip this key service of our business.

To assist customers in obtaining their shipped cargo in a timely manner; we can liaise with our modern and reliable Road Transport Fleet for a fast and reliable delivery service to deliver products/cargoes direct from wharf to our valued customers. We are also regarded as a job provider for the majority of villagers surrounding the Port and outskirts of Rabaul Port by engaging them in skilled stevedoring jobs. We have been providing this core service for the last 100 years and therefore we are second to none when it comes to Experience & Expertise.

DAWAPIA Warehouse

We also offer warehousing and office space in Rabaul. Our current tenants are; Outspan (PNG) Limited, JT Tyre, RD Tuna and Coconut Resources Limited (KIK). Within the Property there is a concrete area convenient for container storage.

Our Transport business has evolved from the early days of Dawapia Plant & Haulage in the 1980s to ENB Port Services Limited today. In those early 80s; the business arm of the East New Britain Provincial Government was the sole contractor to Downer Kier carting all construction materials and machinery for the PNG Power (formerly ELCOM) Hydro construction at Warangoi, Sinivit LLG, East New Britain.

Transport

All ageing haulage trucks and equipment were gradually retired which paved the way for a new modern fleet of side-lifters and semi-trailers. Our customer service is our core goal with a very big presence at the main wharf and around Rabaul & Kokopo metropolitan areas.

Our Road Transport service capabilities includes the use of 32 – 48 metric tonnes forklifts plus others ranging from 2.5 – 16 metric tonnes supported by 20ft and 40ft container side-lifters. Apart from these side lifters we have 20ft and 40ft trailers and prime mover combinations as well as low loaders etc.

We have dedicated transport services exclusively carrying out wharf to customer and customer to wharf movements. To assist customers in obtaining their shipped cargo in a timely manner, ENBPS can offer a tailor made delivery service to deliver products direct from wharf to the customer.
