Comments
Last night, we spent drifting in the pack ice, using this time to log the temperature in various compartments of the ship. Today, we are focusing on operating the cargo handling equipment, like the cranes, cargo hatches and shell doors. Tomorrow, the temperature is expected to drop even further. This drop in temperature will allow us to carry out one of our key tests - the cargo hold fire sprinkler test.
Regards Nick and Michael
