There are two shops in Samarai for provisioning but with very basic supplies. Felix the customs/ immigration officer was present and very efficient with our clear out. Do watch out for the unmarked rock we narrowly missed it.
I have added a note in Navionics to mark it on the chart. We had no security issues in Samarai and it’s a good place to clear in/out if you’re visiting the Louisiades.
