Comments

Back on the job. Stormy conditions and strong winds are almost distant memories as the business of resupply begins again. And yet somehow, despite the wind, there are still remnants of ice in Newcombe bay for the barges to dodge! We shrug our shoulders and carry on. Its all hands-on deck at station as they efficiently transfer loads from the wharf, along wharf road and up to station to be unloaded in their designated locations. The whole operation a meticulous synchronization between ship, barge, crane, truck and station.

REGARDS: Anthea and Misty.
