Comments

The winds settled down to within operational limits yesterday so we headed into Kista Strait around midday. The ship was moved into position and the barge was discharged and headed to Mawson to pick up the Mawson resupply team including the station leader. We had a productive meeting discussing the finer details of resupply which will occur after the arrival of MPOV Aiviq and refuelling is complete.

When the Mawson resupply team headed back to station all of our watercraft operators and roundtripping personnel went ashore for station inductions. The DVL and Chief Officer also went ashore and undertook compliance checks of the outgoing cargo. It is good to have these tasks complete in preparation for resupply and any assistance we can provide.

Cheers
Leanne and Jacob
