Hello All
The wind came up slightly in the afternoon yesterday, but died away again toward the evening. We continued our standby routine while the deck guys struggle to get each tanktainer on its sled. Eventually they succeeded and we were getting ready to discharge the tanks and sleds as units this morning.
We arrived with the swell conditions unchanged from yesterday, but still workable. Two large sections of shelf ice broke away from the north and were drifting down the shelf into the bay and close to our position of work. We then backed off and stood standby monitoring the movement of these two icebergs closely. They hovered around our working area for a while and then started heading offshore, but were not quite clear at 10:00 when we arranged start off work with the AWI personnel.
We made another proposed time at 13:00 and when approaching found the icebergs clear enough for comfort and made our approach. We should shortly start with the cargo operations.
Have a good day.
