The check-in bay is located at 03 04.534S 152 38.012E.
Radio Port Control or the Harbour Master on VHF16 an hour out and on close – they will advise customs of your arrival.
The anchorage is exposed to SE winds and rolly/uncomfortable. There is a fishing boat buoy at the given GPS coordinates which can be used if free, otherwise, anchor in shallow water <5m.
While there is a pier, it is rough and you are better bringing officials to your boat than tying alongside – pick them up at the pier. Clearance timing all depends on whether customs have other commercial shipping checking in.
Officials are friendly and courteous.
Arrangements have to be in place prior to the arrival of a yacht into Londolovit, remembering that this Customs Office is purely for the operations of the Gold Mine, which is owned by Newcrest Mining.
