Government has not been able to pay for the necessary maintenance for local roads and port infrastructure. The biggest ports, in Port Moresby and Lae, are deteriorating. Only 12 of the PNG’s 22 airports are certified to the lowest standard. There is a lack of skilled workers such as project managers and engineers. The Liquefied Natural Gas Project will add to these challenges by creating considerable stress to the existing workforce and infrastructure.
