The Secretary of State’s Representative for Intervention and Salvage (SOSREP) visited the site of the Hoegh Osaka yesterday to view operations, which are progressing well. The weather has been favourable and is forecast to remain so, although the salvors are still working in challenging conditions.
De-watering operations finished at 11.30 today. Preparations are underway to begin the operation to pump the water that remains in the car decks into the empty fuel tanks on the ship.
The list is now at 47 degrees and we expect it to improve slowly over the coming hours in accordance with the plan.
Salvors plan to move the Hoegh Osaka to Southampton Port later this week, possibly late on Wednesday or early on Thursday.
