Comments

Resupply Day 3 - With the current run of good weather, significant volumes of cargo are being moved and the ship will be able to begin receiving Return To Australia (RTA) cargo this afternoon. On station it is going well, with the bulk of fresh, frozen and dry food stuffs for the next twelve months being moved ashore this afternoon. The replacement crane for the station was also transferred ashore via the uniflote pontoons late yesterday. Refuelling commenced this morning and the station is now receiving fuel at a good rate. All things being equal, refuelling of the 600,000 ltrs of SAB will be completed by late this evening.

Regards

Andy, Sharon and Chris
