MIT, SPICT promote environmental awareness through outreach activities

Motukea International Terminal (MIT) and South Pacific International Container Terminal (SPICT) marked World Environment Day through environmental awareness activities that engaged schools, community groups and partner organizations in promoting climate action, environmental stewardship and sustainable waste management.

MIT led environmental awareness activities at Tatana Primary School and Baruni Primary School on June 2 and 4, engaging students, teachers, parents and community leaders in discussions on climate action and environmental stewardship.

In partnership with TotalEnergies EP PNG and Noho Mage Holdings Ltd.
