The three vessels, Mv Andreas, Mv Manus Atolls and Mv Muntai have been sitting idle for more than three years at a landing facility past the main Madang wharf leading into Binnen Harbour.
The three landing crafts purchased by the Government were launched with pomp and ceremony raising high hopes for disadvantaged people in remote island communities。 There was much media publicity following the launching and the maiden trips by these vessels to the places where they were designated to service.
