Transportation in Nauru includes pedestrian, bicycle, automobile, train, and airplane. There is no harbor/port as of the 2020s, as the island is surrounded by a rocky coral reef, however an international port is currently under construction.
Ocean
[edit]The Nauru international port which is currently under construction on Nauru in the Pacific Ocean. It will become the country's first international seaport and improve commerce and connectivity for the island nation.
Air
[edit]Nauru has one airport, Nauru International Airport. Nauru Airlines, which flies to Brisbane, Australia; Majuro, Marshall Islands; Kiritimati; Palau; Nadi, Fiji; Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia and Tarawa, Kiribati, is the only airline to fly to the airport.[1] There are seven airplanes in service, three of which are reserved for freight.[2]
Rail
[edit]Rail transport is used for moving phosphate from the island's interior to the cantilever jetties on the island's western coast, in Aiwo District. For this purpose, a 3,900-metre (12,800 ft) long, 610 mm (2 ft) narrow gauge railway was built by the Pacific Phosphate Company in 1907.
Road
[edit]The island has about 30 km (18 miles) of road,[3] and traffic drives on left side of road.[4] Island Ring Road is the main Road on the island, going around the entire exterior of the island.
