Hoegh Osaka: List of cargo ship reduced from 52 to 39 degrees

This in from the MCA, in their own words. Ed


Salvage work continues in the Hoegh Osaka.

The list of the vessel is reducing (the photo shows the vessel lying at 39 degrees on the evening of Monday 19th January 2015. It was originally lying at 52 degrees).

The weather on scene continues to be favourable and the operation to remove clean water from the vessel’s lower car decks continues.

The vessel will stay at Aplha Anchorage until the list has been reduced to around 15 degrees, some ship’s systems have been reinstated and weather conditions are suitable.
