Paul was back in Tanggu, China with Kerr McGee China Petroleum to review the fabrication and materials application for the Well Head Platform ‘D’.  Very chilly conditions made work at the COOEC construction yard very difficult.  While temperatures at home in Melbourne were soaring to 42°C, Paul was experiencing the complete opposite end of the scale at -15°C.  A visit to South China Marine of Wuzhou in China’s Southwestern corner during the visit provided some relief to the cold.
