Comments

We completed the refuel operation at 8:55pm having pumped 498,900 litres of diesel ashore. Once the hose had been pigged (all of the fuel is forced from the hose using a foam plug called a 'pig' pushed with compressed air) we stopped for the night, packing the hose this morning.

Cargo operations continued whilst we pumped fuel yesterday, and continues today. We now have all the cargo ashore and estimate about 2 1/2 days to fill the hold and deck with RTA (Return To Australia) cargo.

Cheers

Andy and Misty
