The Ocean Giant loaded out dry cargo in two locations in January and February 2013, and then sailed south to McMurdo Station as the dry cargo ship in support of the annual resupply mission Operation Deep Freeze. This mission supports the U.S. Antarctic Program, with the ship under a voyage charter to MSC. The Ocean Giant carried 3,172 metric tons of supplies to McMurdo Station and departed with 4,052 metric tons of retrograde cargo and vehicles. The Ocean Giant is operated by Crowley Liner Services and is manned in all licensed positions by American Maritime Officers. |
