Ships and Cruisers of Antarctica |
Container Ship Green Wave I waited up until 4 am to get a picture of the scheduled arrival but the ship was a few hours overdue. When I woke up, she was already safely moored. |
On-Board Cranes Just a few hours after her arrival, the Navy CHAPS (Cargo Handling and Port Support) start unloading the cargo that keeps Mcmurdo going. |
Multiple Trucks 24 hours a Day The offload process saw hundreds of trips back and forth by the Flat bed drivers taking the cargo to every street and loading area on the station. Fork lift city is an under satement during the cargo ship offload.. |
Empty in 2 Days Hard to believe they got it done in 2 days. One mad dash after another into town the cargo is here. Without the support of this ship Mcmurdo and Antarctica would not exist at all. |
