The MCA have shared another update on the fate of the Hoegh Osaka.
The vessel has been held by an anchor on the Alpha Anchorage for another night.
During the night due to very high winds the vessel dragged anchor for approximately 100m.
This has not changed the state of the vessel in anyway. The list has not altered and there is still no evidence of pollution.
Acting fast to avoid Queen Mary 2
During the time the Hoegh Osaka dragged anchor, between 4am to 5am this morning, the Queen Mary 2 was coming into port reporting 72 knot winds.
Two tugs remain attached to the vessel, one fore and one aft. The aim is to attach another tug to the bow if weather permits.
The weather conditions today are unsafe for the salvors to board to finalise pumping arrangements.
