Sorong is the last real port before Raja Ampat, and how a vessel berths there decides how the rest of the trip runs. This section covers berthing and port work in practical terms: available quay and pontoon options, draft and air-draft limits, mooring arrangements for the prevailing wind and current, shore power and fresh water, waste and bilge handling, bunkering sequence, and the timing of arrival and departure around harbourmaster clearance.

Boat-management contracts are issued by PT Komodo Vessel Management; construction, repair and refit contracts by PT Komodo Galangan Nusantara.
