Vessels may also enter Kavieng Harbor via Silver Sound, which is less desirable than via Nusa Channel. Enter Steffen Channel either from the S or N as directed above. When Kulinus Passage (Kulaumus Channel) opens, alter course to pass between Nonowaul Island (Nanavaul Island) and Kulinus Island (Kulaumis Island). The N end of Lisseno Number 1 Island, in line bearing 072° with the N side of Usienlik Island (Usseinlik Island), leads through Silver Sound. Usienlik Island is 25m high and is 2.5 miles ENE of Lisseno Number 1 Island. Care must be exercised to avoid the charted shoal spots close to this islet. When the E end of Schneider Island (2°38'S., 150°43'E.) bears 010°, course should be altered to that bearing until the 116m summit just N of Mausoleum Berg is in line with the S end of Kabottern Island on a bearing 260°. Then bring this bearing astern. When well passed Globig Island, steer to pass between Globig Island and Usien Island (Nausen Island), taking care to avoid all charted shoal spots; then steer in on the courses previously given for Nusa Channel and Kavieng Harbor.
