Another good days work with the cargo. The ship discharged 126t in 53 lifts, clearing the ‘tween deck and lower hold #1, and commenced loading some RTA (Return to Australis) cargo, taking 24.4t onboard. This morning we completed RTA for lower hold #1 and the trawl deck, and have commenced discharge in lower hold #2. The fuel hose has been rolled out, and pressure testing of the line is about to commence. Our round-trip project personnel are busy ashore, with a delightful taxi service providing transfer to and from the ship on both a regular, and as-needed basis. We have received a few visitors onboard, including the Canadian air crew for a tour of the ship, and some of the Davis winter crew (who are staying on for summer) to sample a fresh salad, and fill-up on fruit.
All the best, Doug and Dave
