Comments

The AIVIQ completed a significant voyage objective today discharging 100% of all southbound solid cargo to the Station.

As we have learned to expect, this achievement was hard won, with delays caused by the 3m NE swell rolling into Buckles Bay breaking away a container chained on the main deck and making personnel transfers unsafe.

We hope to get a better day tomorrow with the swell expected to decay overnight.

Along with embarking the final three passengers, we still have return cargo to backload and secure.


REGARDS: Simon and Matt
