- Where can a ship be repaired in PNG?
There are several locations depending on the size.
Parts of Milne Bay are renowed for ship building and repair. The only one that I know of that has a web site is located in Fairfax Harbour (harbor) in Port Moresby. Take a look at the web site for more information.

Yes. I consider the best facility to be located in Fairfax Harbour, Port Moresby. http://www.pngdockyard.com.pg/slipping.htm

- What is the speed limit in PNG?
In towns the speed limit is 60 kilometres per hour (KPH) (about 37 Miles per hour) and 80 KPH (about 50 miles per hour) outside the cities.

- driving licence?
There are several classes of driving licences available in PNG. The Class 1 licence allows a person to drive a normal sedan / utility vehicle. There are other licences for bigger vehicles and motorcycles. The equivalent licence will usually be accepted in PNG and it is possible to get a PNG licence by producing your overseas licence.
If it is in a foreign language it would need to be translated into English.

- When did the "Royal" title get added to the Royal Papua Yacht Club?
The Club, formed on the 2nd of June 1921, was granted the "Royal" title in 1977.

- What is a typical car to buy in PNG?
No such critter. Most of the roads around the country are in poor conditions so a large number of people opt for a four wheeel drive but there are still large numbers of sedan type vehicles on the road especially since it is possible to import one secondhand from Japan and / or Singapore.
If you are thinking of coming to PNG then it is a good idea to observe the types of vehicles available and the condition of the roads before making up your mind what type of vehicle to buy.

Please note that this is not "Ask Jeeves" - you cannot type a whole sentence as your query. Enter a single word, a phrase, or several words and press search.
Please remember that this is a FAQ database about Papua New Guinea.
Doing a search for PNG or New Guinea or even P.N.G will probably not return much. Keep the search simple. i.e. if you want to find out the population simply enter "population" without the quotes. There is no need to have PNG / P.N.G or whatever in the search string.
Also - Spelling is important searching for 'inkom' will not return items related to 'income'. If you are searching Lady Carol Kidu just enter Carol Kidu or even Kidu. You are not searching the WWW only these FAQ's so the topic has already been narrowed to PNG related topics for you.
