This update on the Hoegh Osaka from the MCA. Ed
The vessel has been held by an anchor on the Alpha Anchorage overnight. Weather conditions on scene have eased and the salvors boarded the vessel at 8.30am to prepare for the removal of water from the vessel.
This lengthy operation is expected to get underway today and continue during daylight hours over the weekend.
During the operation to remove the water inside the list of the vessel will be constantly monitored.
Because of the weather conditions on-scene divers are still waiting to carry out a further inspect of the hull. They are standing-by and will dive as soon as conditions permit.
There is no evidence of pollution.
