Comments

The excellent days with the cargo discharge just keep coming: yesterday finished with 102 lifts in total, with 79 off the ship (175t) and 23 on (62t). After completing the trawl deck stow, the helideck was also completed. This morning, all cargo discharge was completed from the ship, so now we only have RTA to deal with. On the refuelling side of things, pressure testing of the 2 km line commenced at 1516 yesterday, and was completed by 1541 without incident. Pumping from the ship to shore commenced at 1615, and is still continuing, with 630,450 litres delivered so far. We expect to finish pumping later this afternoon.

All the best, Doug and Dave
