The MV Edinburgh arrived at Tristan on the 1st May on her normal cargo trip, but has been hampered with bad weather. Strong winds and heavy seas have prevented the ship from being unloaded and it's now been two weeks, this is the longest time a vessel has been stuck at Tristan unable to get cargo off. Her date for arriving back in Cape Town with passengers was the 12th May, now due to the weather there's no telling when she will depart Tristan, passengers have rebooked flights, some twice already, lets hope the weather improves soon.
