Nauru Pacific Line Explained

The Nauru Pacific Line (NPL) is the national shipping line of the Republic of Nauru, founded in 1969.[1] Its fleet consists of five owned and two leased ships, which travel throughout all of Oceania. It is loss-making and gets subventions from the state.[2]

It is a member of the Pacific Forum Line, a joint venture between several national shipping lines established in 1977 after a dispute between the NPL and the Maritime Union of New Zealand.[3]
