About This Seaport
More than 8,000 nautical miles from its loading port, McMurdo Station on Ross Island is the largest Antarctic research base and is closed to commercial shipping. Once a year, under Operation Deep Freeze, a U.S.-chartered cargo vessel and a fuel tanker reach Winter Quarters Bay after an icebreaker carves a channel of roughly seven miles through the pack ice. Offloading runs over an ice pier or a floating modular causeway, with no scheduled freight, customs or container services on offer. Forwarders supporting Antarctic programmes work through the staging ports of Lyttelton/Christchurch in New Zealand and Port Hueneme in California.
