Anaa Supply Ship and Aranui Calls
17° 20.3′ S · 145° 31.4′ W
Supply-ship day is the event of the month on pass-less Anaa: cargo comes ashore by barge across the reef, and twice a year the Aranui 5 brings passengers.
Practical
Coordinate is the harbour area mapped in OpenStreetMap at the north end of Tukuhora. 2020 calls (government sheet): Nuku Hau 12 times a year, SXMS 3 11 times, Taporo 8 12 times, Aranui 5 twice; 37 calls made in 2020, 1,040 t of freight in. Since there is no pass, ships stand off and work cargo by barge, so it depends on the ocean swell. A yacht can't follow them in. Shop in the magasins a day after the ship. Ask at the mairie for the next call dates.
