Can't queue for island expeditions

I am 120 and have the quest called 'Island expedition' in the war campaign. It asks me to speak to Capt Flynn Fairwind. Whilst he is at the table and clickable, the continue button is grey and won't let me interact. When i click on the table it thanks me for testing but has no other options.

Have i missed a pre-req, and if so, how can i tell?

This is on a dark iron dwarf lock.

thx
