3Y0J - The Bouvet island DXpedition
Kenneth Opskar ·
What is going on right now?
Clearing the punch list of 30+ items to be fixed by the team before
departure. The team is focused on finalizing these items.
Marama punch list cleared and approved last week. Marama is currently
going to Antarctica on a divers cruise and she is in perfect condition!
- We're finalizing the plans for
going onshore. Each team member havee been allocated tasks to prepare
for while going onshore. We have split the team in various working
groups. Part of team focus on vessel unloading and others on beach work
tasks and some on camp setup. We're working online using a 3D model of
the vessel for preparing loading/unloading sequence
-
Marama had to undergo a vessel stability calculation based on our
equipment loading. This is an important calculation considering how the
load is distributed around the vessel, and our 7681 kg of loading have
been approved by the Captain. This ensure the Vessel is stable on its
way to Bouvet! We have developed a plan for where each single piece of
equipment will be stored on Marama!
We're finishing the assembly manauals and also preparing a project
manual describing all parts of DXped. In one month we depart Falkland island!
