All aboard are well. Ops commenced at 1300 on Xmas Day and we completed 9 barge loads of hard cargo to shore before the cessation of ops at 2000. Today's efforts were focused on unloading the two large scrapers. This involved the completion of initial trials to set up the ramp or wedge to which the barge connects land-side. We then placed a CAT loader on and off the barge to verify set-up arrangements. We then proceeded with the scraper movements. Both scrapers were successfully landed ashore by 1545. Hard cargo ops were then suspended to enable refuelling briefings for Station personnel and rest ship's crew. At the time of writing we are still entertaining the commencement of refuelling ops on 27 Dec. This will be further reviewed this evening and tomorrow morning. We will continue on with Hard Cargo ops if refuelling cannot be commenced.
The team are doing a great job!
