The bad news is Australia's Antarctic icebreaker ship, which cost over half a billion dollars, is still in the repair shop and won't be available for this season's expeditions — the good news is, it is still under warranty.
"In July, the AAD announced unexpected issues with Nuyina's propulsion system clutches and a resulting delay for spare parts would see the vessel unlikely to be used for the upcoming season.
"The AAD chartered Aiviq and cargo vessel, Happy Diamond for the 2022-2023 Antarctic season while RSV Nuyina undergoes scheduled maintenance and repairs in Singapore. "Like all new and complex ships, Nuyina will require time for commissioning as it prepares to serve Australia's Antarctic and Southern Ocean science efforts in the decades ahead," the statement said.The "vessel remains under warranty for the duration of maintenance in Singapore", it said.In his statement, Mr Ellis noted the "introduction of new icebreaker Nuyina" had been among "some of the most challenging" moments of his career.
