Port Moselle is a walled harbour in the SE corner of Baie de Moselle.  Baie de Moselle includes a cruise ship terminal on the eastern side, ferry terminals on the northern side, the [http://www.sodemo.nc/index.php/en/home/technical-port/nouville-plaisance/ The Nouville Plaisance haul-out yard] in the NW corner and anchorages for visiting boats on the western side and in a cramped mooring area just outside Port Moselle.

Port Moselle contains the large [[Port Moselle Marina]], tourist boat facilities, a fuel wharf  and pilot boat operations.  The Noumea Market is on the NE corner of the Port.  There is a dinghy landing in this NE corner for those visitors who do not wish to use the marina facilities (for which you must pay).

====Sources for Weather forecasts====
Local forecasts are, of course, in French, but non-French speakers should find them relatively easy to understand.  A very useful vocabulary can be found at [http://weather.mailasail.com/Franks-Weather/French-Marine-Weather-Terms How to Understand French Weather Forecasts for Sailors].

The main source of weather information for the area around New Caledonia is [http://www.meteo.nc/ Meteo France Nouvelle-Calédonie].  The [http://www.meteo.nc/mer/activites-nautiques marine section] provides a 6 day forecast for the whole region, with details for each of the passes through the barrier reef.

Nouméa radio broadcasts the weather report in French on VHF 16, everyday at 6:30, 9:30, 15:15, 18:30.

There is a set of repeater channels allowing receipt of weather info anywhere in the country:

* Nouméa area:                                    VHF 26<br/> 
* Southern portion of the Grande Terre:           VHF 28<br/>
* Isle of Pines and the Southern Lagoon:          VHF 25<br/>
