The Weddell Sea Project\u00a0<\/a>is an expedition that aims to locate the \u2018Endurance\u2019 which was trapped in the ice during Shackleton\u2019s Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-1915).<\/p>\n

The expedition team has chartered the \u2018SA Agulhas II\u2019 which was built in 2012 in Finland. The Polar Class 5 vessel is a modern research ship, \u00a0able to break through ice of a meter thick at five knots. Kanoo Africa was chosen for this project to provide support in Cape Town for the mobilization of the vessel SA Agulhas II.<\/p>\n

The expedition party departed from Cape Town on the February 5, 2022, scheduled to return to the city in March this year. For this specific project, Kanoo Africa will be responsible for clearing and transporting specialized equipment and cargo that will be loaded onto the SA Agulhas II; providing fuel supplies; husbandry services such as people movements, hotel bookings, COVID-19 screening and testing for the team; and providing local procurement and shore support.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
