Comments
Today we completed refuelling operations to pump ashore the Station's fuel for the next 12 months, a significant milestone for the voyage. Watercraft (LARC, IRBs) have been on the water today setting up and monitoring the 1000m of fuel hose, which is connected to the ship and station's fuel farm. Round trip project expeditioners have also had another productive day on the island.
