The 16 students aged between seventeen and eighteen are completing the route as part of a Duke of Edinburgh Hillary Award, which requires participants to plan and launch an adventure. However, as the first Gold Level award hosted by the Sailing Trust, it will be an adventure with a difference.

The bulk carrier
HL Green received a special greeting when it arrived on its maiden voyage to Port Hedland on Wednesday 6 January.
HL Green was the first LNG-fuelled vessel to berth at the Port of Port Hedland, as the maritime industry moves to reduce emissions from shipping operations.
HL Green is one of two 180 000 t bulk carriers that was built in Korea and launched on 11 December 2020. The vessel is expected to make about 10 round trips a year between Korea and Australia.
