sea charter

In addition, the island can be accessed through a variety of private air and sea charter services.

So far, despite an urgent appeal to 24 governments issued on Friday by the International Organization for Migration, which is arranging the air and sea charters, barely half of the estimated $52 million needed to get the first 100,000 refugees home has been contributed.

If you travel to Nauru and an emergency arises, you should be prepared to remain in Nauru until the emergency passes or to arrange for a private air or sea charter from the island, which may cost tens of thousands of dollars.
