Comments

REFUELLING COMPLETED. All on board are well albeit tired following nearly 48 hours of refuelling related ops. Having recommenced pumping at approximately 0900, fuel transfer was completed at about 0200 on the morning of Friday 29 December. The fuel line was recovered by approximately 0600 and the ice lines recovered by 0830. No hard-cargo ops were scheduled for the remainder of the day. Hard-cargo ops are due to recommence on Saturday 30th Dec, noting that elevated winds are forecast for the morning.

My thanks to all involved for a great result. A million litres plus of fuel delivered to station without incident. A strong team effort.

regards

Keith and Nick
