Comments

Passengers transfers undertaken on arrival and fuel and general cargo operations underway by 1200. Fuel line checks completed and pumping commenced 1300. Pumping continued overnight and fuel transfer completed 0830 today. Approximately 20,000 litres could not be pumped from ship and adjustmemt will be made by chief engineer when ship goes off hire. All cargo from No 1 hold and refer cargo discharged by close of business last night. Great support provided by the Mawson team. Uniflote barge assembled by 1800 yestrerday which was a great effort by Dave McCormack and his team, as there were more than a few difficulties to overcome. Commenced operations again at 0830 local today and at time of writing this report we have discharged two thirds of N0 2 hold tween deck. Weather permitting and at the current rate of discharge I expect to be unloading D7 and 100 tonne crane late today.
