正文(英文) | CAMBRIDGE: British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has announced exceptional plans to repatriate scientists, support teams and construction workers as they complete their Antarctic summer field season work. Major disruption to international travel caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and restrictions imposed to limit the spread of the virus, has meant that BAS has had to find safe and secure solutions to bring its people home safely to the UK. A passenger ship moored off the Falkland Islands and operated by Noble Caledonia, will provide temporary, quarantined accommodation for scientists and support staff while they wait to return home. The ship will bring back to the UK around 90 science, support staff and a number of construction workers who have been building a new wharf for the RRS Sir David Attenborough. As the summer field season ends, our Antarctic teams prepare themselves to return home to an extraordinary situation. BAS Headquarters in Cambridge is closed and everyone is working from home. Families and friends are complying with the UK Government’s requirement to stay-at- home and maintain social distancing. BAS Director Professor Dame Jane Francis said,
Noble Caledonia Head of Fleet Operations Mike Deegan said
The RRS James Clark Ross (JCR) is currently at Rothera Research Station unloading supplies for the Antarctic winter. Once operations are complete Rothera summer team members will board the ship joining personnel who have been working at Signy, Bird Island and King Edward Point research stations who are already onboard. The ship will transport people to the Falkland Islands to rendezvous with the charter ship and return to Rothera to bring any remaining summer staff north. ENDS Notes for editors
