The gift was to acknowledge Steamships, as well as its marine services and harbour towage business, Pacific Towing (PacTow) for their many years of support.
The gifted paddle is particularly significant because it has the signatures of the Tahiti World & Pacific Games champions.
Bray said that he was both honoured and delighted to receive the gift on behalf of Steamships and that supporting important cultural and sporting events such as PNG’s participation in the upcoming Pacific Games or the Hiri Moale Festival were all part of Steamships broader commitment to PNG.
