01 · OverviewNorsup, in brief
Norsup is a town on Malakula Island in Malampa Province, Vanuatu. It lies near Lakatoro, the provincial capital.
Geographic pulse
Set at latitude ‑16.06536 and longitude 167.39714, Norsup occupies a coastal niche on the western flank of Malakula. The town’s position within the Pacific /Efate time zone links it to a broader archipelagic rhythm, while its proximity to Lakatoro creates a subtle corridor between administrative hub and local life. The surrounding landscape blends low‑lying shoreline with the island’s interior hills, a juxtaposition that shapes settlement patterns without a recorded elevation.
Population snapshot
According to the 2021 census, the community counts 2,998 inhabitants. This figure reflects a modestly sized settlement that functions as a local service point for surrounding villages, sustaining a demographic balance typical of many Malakula towns.
Transport veins
The town is anchored by Norsup Airport, one of three airfields serving Malakula. This modest runway connects the area to national and regional networks, facilitating movement of people and goods. The island’s other airports—Lamap Airport and South West Bay Airport—complement Norsup’s role, together forming a triad of gateways that knit the island’s dispersed communities.
