hello,
is it possible to go by ship from australia to png?
thanks

Basically: No.

You'd have to be very lucky - or join a cruise if you can find one.

No, there is no passanger or cargo vessels going between Australia and PNG.

The shipping lines doing this trade are:

Ex-Brisbane;
Sofrana
ANL

Ex-Townsville;
Consort Express Lines

Try their respective offices and see what they say, I'm pretty sure they will say no, mainly due to public liabilty reasons. If you do get lucky be prepared to pay for the privelidge (US$150+ per day).
