I'm not sure about that, as I've always thought the BPG acquired it in 1989 and, as you can see above, it was built in 1989 (if the above entry is correct). <BR/><BR/>Nuguria and Nukumanu Atolls are more remote than Takuu, although I guess that depends on where you're setting out from. Nuguria and Nukumanu have access to ports or other islands closer than Bougainville, but those places do not service these atolls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
