| PROJECT INFORMATION | Construction of a temporary Petroleum, Oils and Lubricants Storage and Handling Facility on the site of Wiencke Island in the Palmer Archipelago in front of the Antarctic Peninsula. The development is intended to be resourceful and capable of managing the Antarctic climate whilst remaining cost effective to remain a temporary institution pending the construction of an established military base for the Antarctic Defence Force. The site will remain capable to adequately fuel and maintain military-grade equipment in air, maritime and ground capacities alongside safe storage, fire suppression and prevention systems. Engineers working within the Swedish Royal Navy will temporarily maintain this facility and report any decay or maintenance issues directly to the Swedish Armed Forces Headquarters for escalation. |
