I might be the start/end of season transfer? Wiki says Troll station has ~40 summer staff (and 6 winter). The combination of range, cargo, and the awkward amount of people probably makes something like a 767 pretty reasonable.
- londons_explore 6y agoTo take all the cargo for 40 people to live there probably involves many trips of a 767 each year. Just bringing in the fuel for the generators to keep everything heated and lit for a year is probably the cargo capacity for a 767. That stuff would normally move by ship to other continents, but with no nearby port, I guess everything is moved by air.
- mauvehaus 6y agoTFA says fuel is delivered to the nearest port and brought in with tracked vehicles pulling it in 200l drums on sledges. The cost is commensurate with the length of the supply chain. They prefer it if planes can fly in with enough fuel to fly back home unrefueled for that reason among others.
