The Charismatic Charlie Wade novel Chapter 7117

Chapter 7117 

Ushuaia, the port closest to Antarctica, primarily handles the transshipment and resupply of ships bound for Antarctica. 

However, the port is relatively small, 

With one commercial pier and one oil resupply pier, totaling fewer than ten berths. 

During peak season, berths are often insufficient, 

Forcing many ships to anchor in nearshore waters and personnel to disembark via ferry. 

At this time, the port berths were nearly full, 

Mostly with research vessels flying different national flags, 

Including those from Northern Europe, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia. 

Due to the rough seas in the Drake Passage these past few days, 

These research vessels were waiting for their departure window in Ushuaia. 

It is said that many cruise ships and research vessels from the Antarctic Peninsula, 

The mainland and the archipelago are also waiting for their return window, 

As they are rushing to disembark before the last departure window. 

Once the last batch of Antarctic tourists and summer research team members has returned to Ushuaia, 

This summer’s Antarctic tourism season will officially end. 

After the recent peak of the evacuation season passes, 

Ushuaia Port will see almost no more commercial cruise ships docking for the next six months, 

With only cargo ships and research vessels from various countries remaining. 

At that time, Ushuaia will enter its true off-season. 

There’s a little trick about Ushuaia Port: 

Because many trips to Antarctica require booking well in advance and are therefore very expensive, 

Beyond the reach of most people, 

If there are still tickets available before departure, The price will be drastically reduced. 

Therefore, many backpackers, in order to reach Antarctica in the most costeffective way, don’t book cruises in advance, 

But instead, fly directly to the city during the Antarctic tourist season and wait for available tickets on ships. 

At that time, there were many ships to choose from, and it was relatively easy to find a bargain. 

The minibus drove directly to the dock, 

Stopping only in front of the Nordic research vessel. 

Upon seeing the minibus return, several men immediately disembarked and warmly greeted Charlie and his group. 

They were somewhat surprised that all four meteorological experts were Asian, 

But their superiors had warned them that the four individuals’ identities involved state secrets, 

And that they were not allowed to inquire further. 

Therefore, although surprised, they all displayed excellent professionalism and did not ask any questions. 

One of the men, around fifty years old, stepped forward and said to Charlie, 

“Hello, Mr. Louis, I am John Torresson, captain of the Nordic research vessel Iliad.” 

“You can call me John.” “Welcome to the ship, you all!” 

Charlie was somewhat surprised. 

He hadn’t expected that the only research vessel in the Nordic countries would be named the Iliad? 

So it was named after the royal family? 

It seemed that the Nordic countries indeed showed more respect for royalty than other constitutional monarchies. 

Immediately, he politely shook hands with him and said, 

“Hello Captain Torresson, I’ll be troubling you for the next few days.” 

John wasn’t quite sure which department Charlie and his “meteorological experts” belonged to in Northern Europe. 

When their superiors shared information, 

They were specifically instructed not to ask too many questions, 

Not to interfere, and to provide them with as much convenience as possible. 

Therefore, he even thought that Charlie and his group might be from the military,
