Comments

36 Davis personnel were delivered via helicopter yesterday. The groomer came to the ship yesterday, and made a start on the lay down area beside the ship, which was completed this morning. The first group of Mawson passengers has departed the ship, bound for Mawson on the Chinese DC3-T Basler aircraft. The second scheduled flight of Mawson passengers awaits confirmation to get ready to go, or to stay. The second group of Davis passengers also went ashore this morning. Cargo operations commenced after smoko, with the first lift at 1100. Set-up for refuelling commenced yesterday, with the ship side being readied, and the shore side in preparation today, hopefully ready to go tomorrow afternoon. Cargo will continue until we are ready to refuel.
Regards, Doug & Andrew
