Cargo operations continued to hum yesterday.
The barge was doing really good time moving cargo from ship to shore, around 25 minutes per 'run'. Even though the workboat joined to the pontoons takes longer to do a 'run' it is a great workhorse and with the barge going faster there was an awesome choreographed dance between them. If the pontoons are at the ship being loaded and more than one item was planned for loading it would gracefully reverse away from the ship and the barge would takes it's place, receive the load and off to station it would go. The pontoons would then move back into position to accept the next load. This also worked at station with each load being removed from the watercraft onto a vehicle and off up to it's designated location to be unpacked or stored for unpacking later. Getting the balance of these moving parts creates an efficient operation with safety at the forefront of our thoughts and operations.
This morning we continued as we left off yesterday and we have almost finished discharge all of the cargo for Davis. Excitingly we have received our next RTA cargo manifest and we are planning on starting to load cargo bound for Australia this afternoon.
A perfect day for cargo operations.
Cheers
Leanne and Jacob
