Hello All
Yesterday afternoon we completed the discharge of the tanktainers to the AWI personnel and left the ice shelf to run standby in the bay again. We decided to run the main engines up a bit since they have been idling for a while and to inspect the progress of the very large iceberg B15b, which was just to the NE of Akta Bay. When we could clearly detect the entire iceberg by radar we made a couple of marks to monitor its progress.
We returned to the Southern end of the bay for the evening standby. This morning we estimated that B15b moves in a WSW'ly direction at about 0.5kn. This will then result in it coming close to the entrance of the bay by tomorrow morning if it keeps the direction and speed. This afternoon we will again run up to it to monitor its progress...."rumble rumble here comes the judge."
We are waiting on the CAT train to return to Akta Bay for the remainder of the cargo backload.
