Port Moresby is the capital and largest city of Papua New Guinea (PBG) and the largest city in the South Pacific outside of Australia and New Zealand. It is located on the shores of the Gulf of Papua, on the south-western coast of the Papuan Peninsula of the island of New Guinea. The city emerged as a trade centre in the second half of the 19th century.

There was already an important trade centre on the site of Port Moresby when the English Captain John Moresby of HMS Basilisk first visited it. He sailed through the Coral Sea at the eastern end of New Guinea, saw three previously unknown islands, and landed there. On 20 February 1873, he claimed the land for Britain and named it after his father, Admiral Sir Fairfax Moresby. In September 1975, Papua New Guinea became an independent country with Port Moresby as its capital city.

Port Moresby is not hydrogen ready as we write, hence clean fleet operators will have to seek alternative handling facilities to comply with the IMO's 2040 target.

9TH LEG - At a speed of 13 knots the ninth leg of the hydrogen powered zero carbon voyage would take just over a day to complete, free of emissions. The demonstration of ZEWT technology in action, could help speed up the transition to non polluting waterborne transport. These projections are only a guide. Many of the ports of call could be bypassed completely to give us a shorter passage.
