By Sea
The main quay has a usable length of 2200 ft with depths varying between 25 and 29 ft 7.6-8.8 m. There are two piers, pier 1 and pier 2 lying to the southwest of the main quay. Each has a usable length of 500 ft at both sides and a depth of 25 ft 7.6 m. Two shorter quays between the main quay and pier 1 and between piers 1 and 2 have 225 ft of berthage space each and a depth of 25 ft 7.6 m, bringing the total berthing space to 4650 ft.The new part of the main quay is normally occupied by United States Navy ships
Short quays in a shallow lagoon at the northwest end of the inner harbour are used by local craft.
The inner harbour has an anchorage area but it is very small with a diameter of only 1000 ft. The bottom of the anchorage basin consists of coral and sand providing reasonable holding. Some protection is provided from winds, especially those between north and southeast. For winds between south and west some protection is provided by a breakwater built on the barrier reef that fronts the town. The northwestern end of the main quay offers the best protection from storms.
The outer anchorage area provides little no shelter especially from westerly winds. There is very little protection provided from easterly winds except close to the shore.
