We commenced cargo discharge yesterday but there was a lot of ice in the harbor which the watercraft had to navigate around. There was a further complication with a swell which makes it difficult to load cargo with the movement of the ship and watercraft. We did not hurry this process and all activities were done safely. We had planned for our watercraft operators and watercraft at the wharf but due to the swell we decided to bring them all back to the ship for the night and not risk any damage to the watercraft.
We started with high hopes this morning that the situation would change but unfortunately it did not. We were able to do some cargo runs but the ice is getting more difficult to move through for the watercraft. We will assess conditions again this afternoon to determine if we should continue today or put the watercraft back on the ship and start again tomorrow.
Cheers
Leanne and Jacob
